Start at either North or South Shields and serve, Jarrow, St Anthonys, Friars Goose, Quayside, Dunston, Metrocentre and Newburn. 

I wanted to go further west but I don't thinkthere will be enough water and can't really do one on the Wear due the waterfalls around Chester & Durham.

I've said for years, that the river needs to be utilised more. 

We keep hearing stories about the roads and pollution and the need to switch modes of transport - but here we are, sitting alongside a totally underutilised resource.

It would open up so many new links/connections and in the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't cost much to set up either.

A fast express type ferry between key points and a slower stopping service, maybe zigzagging down the river.
