Or Interchange with buses to/from the Hospital

The elected representatives on North Tyneside Council obviously think that there is a need.

Don't see why you'd interchange there though for the Metro it's just the wrong direction and heading South to head West or East and the buses are infrequent bar the services which run parallel to the Metro pretty much anyway. Similar with the hospital there's direct buses from most places to it and if not you'd likely swap at Whitley anyway where there's 9 BPH vs 2 BPH at North Shields. 

Aren't the buses from the Ferry pretty much dead due to the bad timings now with most people choosing to walk instead. 

Just seems like a checkbox exercise that they're 'doing' something to me. Not to mention the most popular bus route in North Shields (306) is very unlikely to serve the thing anyway and unless there's changes the 1 will only serve it in one direction aswell.
