While I get it might not be quicker at the other side of the road, its better than the 21 going into newcastle to only go to Gateshead then go NIS
People may want to catch the bus at Gateshead, so they'll need to be logged in for that alone. Aside from that, important messages are often communicated on Ticketer which could be essential to read ahead of that section of the journey. It's really not a long process to log into Ticketer, and if a driver is slow at it they're not going to get quicker on the other side of the road.
