Gateshead Council has created a web based mapping tool to help parents understand the options available for travel to and from school, whilst also aiding teachers with work in the classroom.
A wealth of information has been gathered for inclusion in the map including:
-
Bus routes
-
Bus stops
-
Metro stations
-
Locations of School Crossing Patrols
-
Cycle Routes
-
BikeIt Schools
It is possible to search for information by home postcode to enable parents and children to view the transport options available between home and school. There is also an option to search for a school.
You may find it useful to look at the User Guide on the right hand side of this page before you open the map.
