Looks like Nexus are on the case: https://www.nexus.org.uk/news/item/nexus...ffice-move

I did particularly like the line "Bus operators Go North East, Arriva and Stagecoach, Northern Rail and Metro operator Nexus will use the intelligence gathered to plan suitable services and surrounding support." - I suppose there's a first for everything!

Most of the workers will be on a 60% hybrid arrangement, weighed towards office-based, so this is a massive increase in footfall that will be in that part of the City on a daily basis. This is really going to take some radical thinking by our standards in the North East, and I think re-routing some of the South Tyne traffic out of Newcastle has to form part of that.
