To be fair, wasn't it more about linking the Northern estates though, unless you run a bus services every 10 minutes. Outright non stop from Sunderland to Newcastle, there's just no reason to use it as the Metro will win in pretty much everything and lets be honest no-one in their right mind, bar a few days a year, wants to travel from Newcastle to Sunderland.
Buses can't even win on it actually turning up as they've been riddled with strikes and cancellations for the past few years.
