Definitely needs to further out field for the interchange to really work.
It also only works if the pricing is right though.
A few years back I would often travel from Dunston to Jarrow, and I would get the 49 to Gateshead then the 27 to Jarrow.
Since I was changing at Gateshead regardless of what I used for the next journey, it would have made sense to save the 15 minutes and hop on the Metro, but it would have been double the price!
Similar situation when I had to go to Whitley Bay, I could either get the bus to Newcastle/Gateshead and change to the Metro, or take the direct bus there. I obviously chose the direct bus even though it took considerably longer.
