Newcastle e-scooter expansion into more parts of the city 'not off the table' after trial extended

The man in charge of Newcastle’s e-scooters says it would be “brilliant” to expand the scheme to more parts of the North East, including the Gateshead Quayside.

Operator Neuron is celebrating both the one-year anniversary of its arrival on Tyneside and the news that its trial project has been extended to stay in Newcastle until the end of November.

The orange electric vehicles have carried riders more than half a million miles across the city since February 2021, while also clocking up close to 100,000 miles since subsequently launching in Sunderland too.
