Shopping from Sainsburys.
Plus getting to and from work for the thousands who work there.
If i was using a bus for any of these items i would either go to the metro Centre or Newcastle. If i was using the car i'd go there or metro centre due to free parking.
As for Sainsburys are you suggesting doing your weekly shop and having to hump 4, 6 or 8 bags from the entrance to the bus stop for starters, then have nowhere to put it when you get on? If your only going to Sainsbury for milk and bread fair enough but surely then you'd just go local and pay the premium to the local shop keeper rather thanGNE?
I just think increasing buses to the likes of the " centre" ofteam valley wouldn't make more people go there. If it would surely the landlord of the valley would maybe incentivize more buses to be re-routed there? Its a car based retail park, just like many others and it hasn't got anything there that you cant get in gateshead, newcastle or metro centre which all have better bus connections and more choice of shop when you get there
