I'm guessing around 2007. I very rarely used public transport in the mid-to-late 2000s ,but I remember the alternator malfunctioning on my car which meant I had to use the bus for a couple of days. One of those days I traveled to Kingston Park Tesco and there were a few firsts: bendy buses, Centrelink, and Gateshead Interchange. 

Despite those improvements, it didn't really make me want to use the car any less and I was thrilled to have it back on the road
