Consequently there was basically an open top bus all the way along the coast from Whitley Bay to Seaburn. 327 operated by Northern, 538 by the PTE.
Yeh I remember the 327 too. I always thought that was the normal service bus where as the 333 operated by Northumbria only ran during the summer and every hour.

TBF the bus was almost full when it eventually left the Ferry terminal...... but everyone bar one got off at North shields metro.
