Someone leaving work doesn't want nonsense like that, they want to go home after a hard day's work.
By all means run a summer service somewhere but it shouldn't be in service in frontline service. They'd arguably be better doing a shuttle from somewhere like Seaburn to Sunderland or South Shields to Ocean Park so the usual buses aren't slammed with beach goers.
People can be on their way home from work and be exposed to a little joy, miserable doesn’t need to be the default state.
