Wildly off topic but…
Yes it is, part of a very weird wildly historic planning quirk when Sainsbury’s on the valley was Presto then Safeway, then briefly Morrisons.
As part of the Morrisons buyout of Safeway. Sainsbury’s bought a host of Morrisons/safeway/presto that morrisons were forced to sell and closed some (like wrekenton) and expanded others (like the valley)
As part of wrekentons closure, they had to provide a bus service. Which seems wild now as Wrekenton has 3 supermarkets and a very regular service to Galleries (6 supermarkets) and Gateshead (2)
