Sometimes the taxi is just worth it, unless the bus literally left outside my front door, I couldn't be arsed to lug numerous cases, hope the thing actually turns up and then no doubt go on a magical tour around the world (if it left from here).
If it is literally doing this, I'd much rather see the money running night buses duplicating the Metro network with maybe some small variations in stopping points to serve points of interest ie. Gosforth, Felling or stops between Walkergate and Wallsend etc.
The Airport would naturally be served anyway since it's on the Green Line. I know it happens in London with routes like the N20 which only exist at night and duplicates the Northern Line as I used it once and was surprised how busy it was and frequent aswell. Very bizarre being on full double deckers at 3am at the morning.
100% with you that a night bus on the metro network would be a much better thing to do, don't think Nexus would have the money to do that right now though.
