Why does the express have to start from South Shields town centre for?, where does the passengers come from to get on the stagecoach express from south shields town centre?, passengers would have to come in from other stagecoach buses which connects onto service X34 to Newcastle along the route between Boldon Asda and Horsley Hill square. This is probably why stagecoach never put service X34 to Shields town centre.
