Buses - Not a problem
As for having to cross Jubilee Way to reach the stops, anyone living south of the river has been doing this for years too.
On the other hand, this arrangement, if made permanent, would save the buses doing an unnecessary 3,800 miles each year of loops through the MarketPlace to get back to where it started - and reduce traffic on the main road by one bus per hour!

Hide AdI wouldn’t like to see a double decker attempting Stanhope Road at school leaving time to reach North Street either; parking there is already bad. So there is no other suitable site for a bus stop within reasonable walking distance of the town centre, especially for the less able - isn’t Jubilee Way the lesser evil?
