There are lots of requests in the comments on Facebook for a bus service that goes from South Shields to Sunderland Royal Hospital.

The E services are still having regular "late running" issues.

It's a good point about the potential need for a direct link between South Shields and Sunderland Royal - especially when clinical services start to be consolidated as the two trusts work closer together - meaning more people have to travel between the two to access services.
