Aye that's the service I had in mind, can't see this new one doing any better. I just don't understand who's realistically going to use it. It's not as if people go to hospital every day so unless the whole of Portobello / Barley Mow is suddenly getting ill - I'm not sure who's going to use it. Least sending it to Gateshead took people to somewhere people might actually want to be. The other end of the route is as baffling, not sure why Teal Farm needs another service to Washington, minutes before the quicker 8 which caused the Gateshead cut.
