Newcastle & Gateshead Park and Ride

During the restoration of the Tyne Bridge, a Park and Ride service will be running from the Metrocentre Coach Park. Buses run every few minutes to Newcastle city centre with an average journey time of 20 minutes. At busier times, our buses use the dedicated bus only CentreLink road to get you into Newcastle as quick as possible. If you're travelling to Gateshead, our Supershuttle X66 service runs every 10 minutes throughout the day, whisking you to Gateshead in just 11 minutes!
