X35
Newcastle
Gateshead
Non-Stop
Fellgate
John Reid Road
South Tyneside Hospital
Harton
Westoe
Chichester
South Shields
Marine Park& ocean beach fair
Every 30 mins
X36
Newcastle
Gateshead
Non-Stop
Boldon Asda
West Boldon
East Boldon
Cleadon
Harton
Westoe
South Shields
Marine Park & Ocean beach fair
Every 30 minutes
These services will provide an every 15 minute link with Newcastle & Gateshead with South Shields & Ocean beach fair
Aswell as this these buses will provide a new fast link by bus to Newcastle for Fellgate, East & West Boldon, Cleadon & South Tyneside Hospital.
Further more these services will terminate at Ocean beach fair to create a more direct route to the fair from Newcastle.
These services will interwork at both ends of the route.
These services will run on Sundays too with an hourly individual frequency & half hourly combined frequency
But I do agree that there needs to be an alternative to the Metro and the 27 from South Shields to Newcastle.
