Houghton has been badly affected aswell as I believe someone went on a pub crawl there. Sunderland as a whole is looking poor, much worse than South Tyneside now and I wouldn't be surprised to see a local lockdown there soon.

Also about the driver stuff, if 1 bus driver catches Covid and he goes into the break room with 10 other drivers, who 1 in there ends up positive who went into another break room with another 10 drivers there won't be a bus service at all very quickly since your 21 drivers short for a week at least. But we can't lose that 1 seat...

I actually drove past the beer garden of said club on the Sunday evening and both myself and MrsC commented on the crowding at the time. There was no way social distancing or capacity control measures were being adhered to within the period of time it took to drive past. 
Based on that small snapshot, it didn't surprise me at all to see the story emerge over the last few days.
A few schools and local businesses in the area have had to adapt quickly. One local cafe were saying just last night that sit in meals are no more - for the time being anyway.
