The latest report on the bridge has stated it will be unable to cope with motorised traffic from 2025, at the latest. Network Rail will obviously give preference to trains over buses which means GNE will have to return to the Tyne Bridge or use Redheugh/Askew or alternatively, Swing Bridge
It's buried within here

I know it is listed, but it would have been better to knock it down, then build an replica a few feet wider so two way traffic could still use it.
Probably would have been cheaper and quicker than what they done.
