(01 Aug 2015, 11:28 am)Dan wrote Due to a road closure on Ferry Street, South Shields, from 06:00am to 21:00pm on Saturday 1st August, to allow the installation of a tower crane and works associated with the town centre regeneration scheme, Stagecoach services 12/12A were scheduled to terminate at South Shields Market for the day.
Go North East operated a free shuttle bus service on behalf of Nexus for the duration of this road closure. Numbered 12S, the shuttle stopped at Palatine Street, River Drive, Mile End Road and South Shields Town Centre Bus Stops.

So that's why the traffic was so bad in the town centre! The bus was carrying nothing but fresh air when I seen it today.
