I can think of a million other places where money would be better spent ie. Shields Road, can we ban cars? Chillingham Road, can we improve traffic flows? where buses lose a lot of time in the same area.

I looked into Byker Bypass as a school study, and interestingly it was built with the propasal that shields road would be 

A. Pedestrianised 
or 
B. Bus only 

Neither of which happened.
