This service would run round in both directions.
Reliability would be catastrophic on this, The current 88 ( Which covers half of the places shown ) suffers from Major Delays pretty much every Evening Peak ( Also includes School finishing time )
Shields to the Hospital, Whitleas , Biddick Hall , Bolden Asda and Fellgate is covered by the 5 every half a hour and everything else bar the Hospital is also served by the 50 every half and hour.
Stagecoach have a big presence in Most of the inner Shields areas, Enough to make a competitors route unviable.
