It's quite remarkable that even with a joined up project like this, there's very little joined up thinking.
A huge opportunity to press the reset button and find out what the punters living, working, studying and travelling along that corridor (whether that by car, bus, rail, bike or foot) and find out what they needed or wanted from their public transport offering.

Instead, we've got more of the same old. Just with a service that's arguably not as good.

Yeah agreed. Nexus and bus operators need to sit down and come up with something about the East of the A19 in North Tyneside as the service is absolutely diabolical and it's getting worse and worse. I can't remember the last time there was a service improvement in the area. 

Just to put it in context how bad it is.

Non subsidised services:
306, 307, 308

Subsidised services:
1, 51, 53, 54, 57/57A, 309

Contracted services:
10/11, 19, 317, 335, W1, W2

How long is it going to take to realise it's just not working and I'd be surprised if there's anywhere in the North East excluding rural areas as bad. The GNE network is embarrassingly bad now imo.
