| - Quaylink links both the Newcastle and Gateshead Quayside area of the River Tyne with the centres of Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead and to the other local public transport bus, metro and rail modes. The service provides transport for local residents and for the users of the various tourist attractions of the Quayside, and for night time users of the many Quayside bars and restaurants. The Quaylink service was introduced as a high quality public transport service for the redeveloped and expanding Quayside area, which, although extremely close to Newcastle and Gateshead town centres, were either not served, or not well served, by conventional bus transport, and dominated by car usage. The Quayside roads are also not located on any of the traditional bus routes. The service was originally operated with accessible hybrid diesel-electric buses with a distinctive appearance, enhanced by a special yellow livery. They were replaced in August 2010 by new low-emission diesel buses.
