Barrack Road & Central & Grainger Street & Pilgrim Street is missed out entirely with the route now coming in via A167, Claremont Road, Barras Bridge, St Mary's Place, John Dobson Street, Blackett Street & Percy Street
I find it strange that they propose 2 routes but then just completely dont go for that part
Thing is the new route is good, but they haven’t thought it through very well. Claremont road always gets busy at Christmas and match days. The express routes normally divert Barack Road and 10/11 via great north road so it’s just going to make the 71/72/87 late too!
I believe should they divert them 3 routes away from Claremont Road the diversion will be continue down the A167 to the A1058 Jesmond Road, right onto Osbourne Terrace, Right onto Sandyford Road, St Mary’s Place then left onto John Dobson Street. Should anyone want Barras Bridge they’d have to travel the loop and get off on the way back out.
