Can remember getting off the Metro in Percy Main to go to Wet and Wild (Meadowell still had its reputation and legacy) in the 90s and remember thinking it would be so much easier (and less risky) going by bus. 

The buses only seemed to get better, when the offering was worse.

North Shields Fish Quay is the newest place like that. Impossible to get there from the Coast and it's now doable since they opened up the new bridge, years ago. 

You'd always think there'd be some demand from Whitley Bay and Tynemouth to the Ferry, especially in the Summer months with people coming across from the South side of the water.

Personally I'd love to see them try and do a tourism push and have a summer time open top service running from Blyth or Whitley Bay Lighthouse to North Shields Ferry and a second from South Shields Ferry to Sunderland all along the Coast. I'd imagine kids would love it and would actually be useful especially considering there's problems with the E's aswell.
