Can't see why it couldn't be done there, it's not like there's anything at Callerton Parkway which means there'd be massively lost revenue for the Metro it's in the middle of nowhere. 

Sorry wasn't too clear in the original post it's what I meant about ticket acceptance.

Why would nexus do that. It costs £4 to get to the airport from Bank Foot. Callerton Parkway is either £3 or £4 cause the airport is its own zone (ZoneC)

If they make it free then nexus would lose money and which I dont think they want to. 

Why do you think we dont have a bus service that runs from Newcastle to the Airport. Cause the metro is there and nexus probably wouldn't want a bus service to compete. Yes you have the X78 which runs all day but let's be real..if your travelling to the airport to get on a flight. Your not gonna get the bus that stops outside airport grounds to walk all the way to the main terminal when the metro drops you off right inside the terminal
