How much is an adult single Newcastle St Mary's Place (City Hall) to Whitley Bay The Links on the 309

(30 Jun 2015, 7:03 am)Tom It's £2.80 to the town centre, so I'd imagine it'd be the same to Whitley Bay Links? Otherwise it'd be £3.30 as that's the price to Blyth.

I'll post this here rather than the Bus Outings thread... Thinking about maybe making a trip up to South Shields on Saturday travelling up from Sunderland on one of the Stagecoach E services.
So a few questions:
Which is the best to get from Sunderland - South Shields in terms of scenery etc. E1/E2/E6?
Also is there any other routes from South Shields I should maybe look at riding once I have gotten my photos in South Shields and wish to travel somewhere else?
Any suggestions welcome

(01 Jul 2015, 5:50 pm)Dan E1 probably your best bet - this is the one that follows the coastline the most.I may try some E photos if I head to the Seaburn Rally as the Enviros will probably be out that day (or they where last year).
Failing that, I'd suggest E6. I uploaded a photo to Flickr a few weeks back of an E400 operating either an E2 or E6 climbing a bank. Some decent views.

(01 Jul 2015, 7:10 pm)Jimmi This is going to sound a little stupid but... how's the ferry work, obviously it goes over the water, what I mean is, are there seats to sit on and how do you pay. I ask as I am a little nervous as I have no experience of things like this.
How much would it cost to get the ferry from South Shields to North Shields?

(01 Jul 2015, 7:12 pm)Tom Yeah there is a upper and lower deck, and there are seats
It's £1.60 each way.

(01 Jul 2015, 7:43 pm)Jimmi Is there ticket machines or do you have to go to some sort of ticket office? These questions sound totally dumb.
Where would be the best place for photos in North Shields?

(01 Jul 2015, 7:47 pm)Tom No, you buy them from the conductor as you board the ferry.
There aren't many great places in North Shields, but Northumberland Square is nice. I'd recommend going to Tynemouth if you have time, as there are some lovely coast shots there, and you've got regular services on the 1, 306 and 333 going there. Whitley Bay is also decent too.

(01 Jul 2015, 8:03 pm)Jimmi Oh ok
Will try and squeeze Tynemouth in if I have time. Did Tynemouth back in October? for the Coastliner 306 StreetLite launch, hopefully it will be warmer than it was that day

(01 Jul 2015, 8:11 pm)Tom Yeah it's a nice place, and the 333 goes direct from the Ferry.

What would be the quickest and cheapest way to get to Barnes Park. I'll be departing Ashington on the 0900 X21 to Newcastle, but I'm stumped whether to use Metro to Sunderland and walk, or Metro to Sunderland then bus?
