I don't get what you expect from South Shields, your lucky you've got the network you've got it's a basketcase of a place at the best of times. Bar the E services there's little money in most the routes as they're just short hopper services into South Shields and who particularly wants to go there. GNE have your profitable services 20, 26, 27 and 50 which are long distance and actually go places with the Metro taking the Newcastle passengers.

Be happy with what you've got as other similar sized places such as Washington, parts of Sunderland and Whitley Bay / North Shields would love what you've got instead they've got GCT running the services at nights and Sundays with breadvans and if you go to other places such as Scarborough which is a similar size they have 1 local service after 6pm.
