If NE local rail was more frequent, integrated & maybe rebranded, it’d appeal to more of us. In the meantime the Northumberland Line may help raise the profile of the current offer. A combined Metro & Local Rail map could too & promote multimodal travel. Here’s my interpretation

Gateshead’s ‘Centrelink’ is a great piece of bus-only infrastructure between Dunston Staiths & the Swing Bridge, mostly 50mph too. It can help buses fly towards Newcastle by avoiding the Redheugh Bridge which suffers from congestion in the AM peak & during events/matches. (1/2)

@MrMappy That map is only to show Pop PAYG zones but I agree it’s not great: Local rail lines shown in blue too similar to the rivers/sea, & they’ve missed marking the local rail stations at Heworth & Sunderland. 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you’re after a Metro & Local Rail map, here’s one I made earlier: 😉

If NE local rail was more frequent, integrated & maybe rebranded, it’d appeal to more of us. In the meantime the Northumberland Line may help raise the profile of the current offer. A combined Metro & Local Rail map could too & promote multimodal travel. Here’s my interpretation

‘History of Tyne & Wear Metro - Documentary - The Way Ahead’. A longer, better quality version of ‘The Way Ahead’ than I’ve previously seen. Worth a watch if you have 25 mins & are into cities, transit, the NE. We need to redo some of that good work…

Feeling rather festive after finally seeing Home Alone at @Sage_Gateshead , with the music performed live by the Royal Northern Sinfonia and the Chorus of Royal Northern Sinfonia. Fantastic! @RNSinfonia
