(24 Aug 2015, 3:46 pm)R852 PRG wrote I've taken inspiration from one of yours and devised what I personally think is the most direct and cost effective service that Go North East can offer;
Newcastle - Regent Centre - Bedlington - Ashington - Blyth - Whitley Bay - North Shields - (onto the ferry) - South Shields - Sunderland - Peterlee - Middlesbrough - Sedgefield - Durham - Arnison Centre - Chester-le-Street - Stanley - Consett - Hexham - Newcastle Airport. During which time some passengers would have otherwise landed in New York.
Between the Shields why not the Tunnel?
I wanted to claw my eyes out when doing South Shields to Ashington via ferry, 19 and X21. I'd say that would take about 5 hours?
