Same as above South Shields operated them for quite a while. Mainly services 10/11/13/14s with spells on short lived full time services 1, 2 and 9.

The minibuses at South Shields were ousted by the short dart vehicles 32117,32124,32132, 32794 and 32795, can't remember the others but there were others.  In turn these short darts then transferred to Newcastle and ousted their minibus fleet.
