I know that from experience, I used to live on the Shields side of the E1 route just off Mowbray Road, it used to be a nightmare getting on an E1 on an afternoon when you were just trying to get home with some shopping. We'd end up on the 8 and a longer walk back to the flat to avoid all the tourists.
