This would lead to temporary closure to Bus Stops on Jackson Street/High Street in both direction with Bus Services using Gateshead Interchange. I'm this won't go down well for some however for some services may improve reliability through being re-routed. The Sunderland Road Bus Gate would also be suspended and open to all traffic during the demolish works.

Services 53/94 would go via Lambton Street in Gateshead Interchange coming up from Gateshead College. X24/X34 would do the same coming out of Newcastle unless Stagecoach were happier to go out via High Level Bridge would may require a Bus Stop change in Newcastle City Centre.

I'd also set up a Park & Ride Bus Service from Quays Boulevard Multi-Storey Car Park which I think Gateshead Council missed a trick here on doing prior to it's opening which may of lead to a reduction in Cars going over Tyne Bridge into Newcastle, the P&R Bus Service would be subsidised by Gateshead Council.

What are other people thoughts?
