The current timetable is tied in with the ferry landing times with only a minute sitting time at Whitley Bay, and with a PVR of two there's not much wriggle room. Certainly going to be a challenge during the summer when the sea front is a bit busier. Believe North Tyneside Council and Nexus have some agreement with the Stagecoach too, especially for the ferry landing times.
