The negative round the hub was extremely pathetic to anyone who doesn't live in or around it. It's been a hell of a lot better than sitting on a cold rainy damp day waiting for a bus on Bedford Street to actually being in a shelter place. North Shields has good links with the buses in the hub. Sending the 306 in there would make no sense since the 307 follows the 306 for the most part. It about a 5 minute walk from the top of Alblion road to the hub anyway.
It's not just the 306 since the 1 avoids it Newcastle bound aswell. It's a complete white elephant if you ask me. If bus routes aren't serving it as it's in the wrong place then it's a failure, especially the two busiest routes in the town.
It's just another we don't know how to get people into the town so let's build a bus station which North East councils are obsessed about. Bishop Auckland is another one going down the route when the reason people aren't going to the town is there's nothing there.
