Not to say that Billy Mill doesn't do well commercially. I wonder how many people cross from either side of the Coast Road though (using the Subway or other means) to catch the 306/308 currently.
Would be interesting if local surveys were conducted.
Assume there'd be quite a few but I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few people went the long way around, especially in the evening.
It's the only road really that's blighted by the issue aswell. We're quite lucky in a sense as some cities are riddled Subways. For all the hate Gateshead and Newcastle, mostly deserved, they've done a good job at pretty much removing all of theirs.
