Must admit they have desperately struggled past couple of days
I got on the X24 from Sunderland this afternoon and two came together onto Fawcett Street, one was 30 Minutes Later and the latter that went straight back to the Depot was over 60 Minutes Late.
It's not just Gateshead High Street congestion due to Park Lane Roundabout being closed. There are temporary traffic lights in place on Burdon Road next to the Old Civic Centre/Winter Gardens along with some on Chester Road for the junction at Sunderland Royal Hospital for Kayll Road/Osmonde Street.
Definitely a wise move to have the X24/X34 serve Gateshead Interchange in both directions till the works are completed however both services are still going to being running late regardless of what you do.
