X67 - Metrocentre - Newcastle City Centre - Another P&R Side North
X68 - Heworth - Newcastle City Centre
A1 Coal House Roundabout P&R intergrated into the 21 Route (buses every 5 mins Friday/Saturday and School Hoildays, 10 mins Sunday) Every 7 mins other times, every 20 mins evenings
Even in the prosperous days of the late 2010s, the park and ride from MetroCentre failed. I can't see Heworth competing with the Metro for ease/cost.
X50 does ok but that's a targeted market
It will be interesting to see what they do with the Angel P&R - I honestly think it'll be a total failure and can't work if you just divert the 21. Who in their right mind would get out of their car onto a bus to sit in awful Gatesheas traffic for 30 minutes when they can stay in the car, park in town and get there in half the time.
