As boats are more adaptable than trains, can alter course when necessary, and don't need complicated diagrams to operate. I thought we could have a suggestion thread for ferries to carry over some of the lunacy we witness in the suggestion threads of the big three bus operators in the region.

If some some of the weirs were flattened; the River Team widened; and some sort of harbouring facilities constructed near  Queensway North and Fifth Aveneue on tbe Team Valley (the Gateshead one, not the ones located in either Sunderland or Newcastle); then I think its would be possible to start a clipper service between Team Valley and North Shields with additional stops at Dunston Staithes, the Quayside, Bill Quay, Walker, Wallsend, Jarrow, Royal Quays, Tyne Dock and South Shields.

Boats would run every 6 minutes with a PVR of goodness knows.
