I would presume a Level Crossing would be put in place where the current Pedestrian Crossing is between Shiremoor and West Monkseaton along with the potential New Metro Station.

To save anyone cycling through the document above, that's the main plan btw:


Can definitely see someone being interesting in doing a loop like:


Whether that's Stagecoach with its 22, or a curtailed Coast Road service who knows. I'm sure they'd be some developer funds on the go for them though and £££ always talk.
