Will be interesting to see how it pans out that's for sure. Whitley Bay and North Shields is hardly the likes of Scarborough, though does have the caravan park which may help a bit.
I seem to recall there used to be an open-top service in South Shields at one time, but I haven't heard anything about it recently - is that one still going, or did I imagine it?
