I live in North Shields, and I will continue to question why my home town is losing its direct link to Sunderland, which was first established 50 years ago when the Tyne road tunnel first opened. If you live in the area between Boldon and South Shields, you do not currently have a direct bus to North Shields. You either use a bus to Jarrow, then change to service 9, or use the ferry and a local bus within North Shields. If that's the case, you are defending a new direct bus link at the expense of an established link.
And as I said, I answered your first question which was, Why on earth is there going to be a service from South Shields to North Shields.
You asked the question. I answered the question.
