Seriously though, even without the cross-county issues and staying in the Tyne & Wear area, there are similar difficulties.
* Has anyone tried getting to Newcastle Business Park outside 'normal' bus operating times?
* Getting into Rainton Bridge prior to Npower paying for services a few years back was impossible.
* Travelling to Doxford Park from anywhere other than Sunderland or Houghton is ridiculous.
* Trying to remember which bus serves Sunderland Riverside Business Park this week needs the memory of a genius.
* Anyone needing to get to the business park by Nissan needs a good pair of legs, sturdy shoes and a rain coat (just incase).
* Has anyone been standing for a bus on Crowther Industrial Estate recently? Did you enjoy the wait?
* Can anyone remember the last bus to stop at Monkton Business Park? I think it was a workers service picking people up from the old Cokeworks circa 1978.
