They used the Swing Bridge when the High Level was being refurbished.
Don't think it was all of their cross-Tyne routes, but certainly the Washington 'expresses'.
Sure they sent some via Eighton Banks at the same time.

I'm wondering if this is the perfect opportunity to review and revise the cross-Tyne services.
It's been spoken about before, but do we really need a multi-coloured convoy of all those buses following each other in and out of the town?
