If I'm right, Leeds pretty much works like this in terms of corridors. I actually really like it works well as the vast majority of areas have a direct link to the train station to interchange.
I don't know how feasable it would be but I'd always love to swap Haymarket and the Gateshead services around so all the Gateshead services serve Haymarket and Eldon Square and the Great North services heading down John Dobson Street and head down to Central like so:
Would give much much better connections for everyone as people from Gosforth, Cramlington, Morpeth would have a direct link to Newcastle Central and also stop the likes of the 56 clogging up around Market Street and remove buses from Market Street itself which is a horrid place currently, for the Stagecoach services moved from Blackett Street.
If I'm right it means that everyone would have a connection to every bus somewhere in Newcastle aswell.
Why, you have when have the metro and national rail already serving this link and a future line to Ashington in 2024.
I do agree on this point. You also have the old Q3 stop on newgate street, the two on the opposite side of the road and the ex-100 stop on Blackett Street which currently arent used all withih easy reach of eldon square.
