Working in partnership with Nexus, all journeys on Services 10 and 11 are revised, and are extended from Jarrow via Tyne Tunnel to North Shields, serving Royal Quays Retail and Leisure on the way.
These through trips will run up to every 30 minutes during the daytime, and hourly during later evening periods (with some additional short-hop trips running between Jarrow and North Shields).
New Services 10 and 11 will provide new regular and direct links to Royal Quays and North Shields from across much of the South Tyneside area, including Marsden, Harton Nook, Whiteleas, Biddick Hall, Simonside, Low Simonside, Hill Park and Jarrow.
As a result of this new link, the experimental peak time trips to Cobalt Park will be withdrawn.
Updated timetables for these services are now availalbe from the journey planner.
That's a shame as I never got to photograph these workings given I work on the Cobalt, to be fair from the journey's I seen there was nobody on them and obviously the pandemic has had an impact on potential passenger due to those working from home.
I do think however in the peaks they could of experimented with an extension of the revised 10/11 from North Shields to the Cobalt, I do wonder if Stagecoach will make such a move extend the services further through to Tynemouth & Whitley Bay and likewise maybe splitting some of the 22's to go into North Shields etc.
