Moor Park Explore Club
- Exploring Transport Issues
In The North East of England

Welcome
The aim of this site is simple: It is to highlight both the good and bad aspects of Public Transport in North Tyneside, and to give the fare paying public a chance to have their say on the services they receive.

We hope you will take the time to submit to us your comments and experiences regarding transport in North Tyneside because without your contributions, nothing will ever improve.

It's early days yet, so the number of pages listed on this site are currently limited, but they are packed with information - and the site is growing. Just remember to call back regularly to check on new issues raised. (To bookmark this site, Press Control+D)

hope
If you want to have your voice heard, feel free to email us, including your name and contact details, and we may be able to include your comment on this site.

This site is run by volunteers in North Tyneside in partnership with The Transport and Society Network.
