No More Tyne Tunnel

what pisses me off just as much is the ***** who dont have the change ready

They're probably all from Spennymoor.

Ridiculous how it charges you both ways like. Why not double the fee for one way and then the traffic can just flow coming the other way.

Cobalt is in a hideous location.
Barely anything to the East, a hideous transport network to the South, a fairly sparse population to the North.

Something of that size would have better served somewhere like Washington.

Why do you say that?

Because they are predominantly London based

I live nearby and its carnage at certain times of the day travelling......they should have done the silverlink junction and other improvements suck as hollystone at the same time as the tunnel.

It is, but it's also canny central for the majority of the NE populace.

Why didnt they just build a bridge?

Because they'd charge for a toll for that and it would affect the ships going up the tyne

People would go free one way then the long way on the way back to avoid paying you divvy.

I was reading earlier that the pedestrian tunnel refurb has taken longer than it took to build it.

Vote labour and they will build an under-river monorail that costs £10bn but will be free.
