(10 Jan 2021, 3:29 pm)streetdeckfan I wouldn't say Euro 5 buses are 'really polluting', especially per passenger, yet they're going to be charged to enter.

I'd apply exactly the same criteria to cars as they are to buses.
With the current proposals, 50 people could drive into Newcastle in 25 year old diesel and they aren't bothered, but if those same 50 people get on an 8 year old Euro 5 bus suddenly the world is ending and they need to pay £50 to enter.

Just doesn't make any sense to me!

You need to build a suitable bypass around Newcastle before you can do stuff like that. It's all good charging people, 'going into Newcastle'. The problem is they aren't. They're doing journeys such as Byker to Team Valley or Felling to Killingworth. Without something built like the Friars Goose Crossing, there's no alternative for these people and the charges would be unfair. You just need to travel along the Coast Road or Central Motorway now there is still a fair chuck of traffic yet Newcastle is a ghost town.
