Unsure if bus remained in service but guessing any passengers on would not have been happy if asked to get off at Boldon and wait god knows how long for next.
Good shout for Tunnel diversion and perhaps a shuttle by Stagecoach similar to S1 from Newcastle to Gateshead, or agreement with Nexus/GNE to accept Stagecoach Passes Gateshead - Monument
Aye, just makes sense going that way. It's not a kick in a teeth longer anyway, even without the roadworks as it's mostly NSL.
Could make the case for the X21 doing it aswell but via the A1/Redheugh instead - why they need to serve Low Fell is a mystery to me and would give flexibility like these used to.
It's not like any of these people can just change onto the Metro which is poor advice imo.
