The 21:23 S/Shields to Jarrow journey on the 26 is missing from the Mon-Fri times but on the Saturday / Sunday timetable.
Also, the evening journeys on the 26 seem to connect at Jarrow bus station with the 27. Could GNE not sell through fares for these journeys considering that they get the full link during the day?
