Roundabout east of A696 The A696 runs in a cutting crossed by a flyover where the vehicles area parked; those vehicles are taxis waiting for messages that their clients are ready for collection from the nearby Newcastle Airport. They linger in such places around the airport to avoid paying what they consider to be, (probably quite reasonably), excessive charges that there would be for waiting in the airport grounds.
