🚧 Tyne Bridge restoration underway - there will be a full overnight closure tonight and the Tyne Bridge will be reduced to two lanes from 6am tomorrow. 🚌 Please plan ahead, follow the travel advice and make the switch to public transport as we restore this icon.
@NewcastleCC It will be absolute carnage , reopen the high level , abandon the bus lanes , make better use of the quayside / staithes roads . Ensure the metros are working 100% . Could destroy jobs and business this
@NewcastleCC Switching to public transport sounds lovely in theory but is utterly impractical for many. It would turn my current commute of 30 mins into 3x that. How is anyone supposed to accommodate that into their daily lives? Very disappointed with how little has been done to help.
@NewcastleCC Would it be a bad idea to open all roads to let people drive freely while this restoration is going on and also to suspend the clean air zone and associated taxes too. We’ve had a horrendous few years with Covid, inflation etc people need a break - think it would be appreciated
@NewcastleCC @My_Metro the metro reposting this then immediately tweeting about gaps in service on both lines is too funny, more people would be willing to switch to public transport if the public transport was actually reliable
