Mind, on paper, the 9 is the best route to go through there imo. It might aswell run Jarrow to North Shields over the 10/11 extension because it runs on a complete dog leg, anyone sane would use the ferry instead and there's nothing inbetween that you can really argue that someone would actually want to go to/from North Shields for as there's nothing else at the North side of the water. Even people in North Shields don't want to go to North Shields.
Agree there like, when im asked where i live i like saying Chirton instead of North Shields
