Ah, okay. I've never been on the 20, but I thought it could route through South Shields Town Centre, Whitburn and Seaburn to Sunderland City Centre. With a GNE ticket it's only possible to get to South Shields Interchange and travel options are limited (the 27 takes ages to Newcastle/Gateshead and even the 5 takes ages to Jarrow).
