(Yesterday, 2:14 pm)logidoodah wrote I was going to West Boldon so a 45 minute walk to Brocka or a 20 minute walk to East Boldon.  I hate getting the metro's - I've been on too many that have broken down and I also hate being crushed in as a sardine. This journey according to Google maps 19-Ferry-50 would have been about the same journey time anyways if not quicker as less walking. The biggest problem was the 50 as by this point I did not have time to get the 3 to Biddick and walk. The most annoying thing is there is no consideration for people crossing the tyne unless you are using the Ferry. Try to get to Jarrow and you have to travel 10 mins to North Shields and back on yourself through doubling the journey time. 

I am going to put in some service suggestions in the appropriate thread as I had a while to think about this yesterday.

Aye that's fair must admit getting the tunnel is crap like and needs work since the doubling back issue via North Shields is a problem and if your actually in Shields going via the ferry is just as quick anyway. 

I know I've mentioned it a few times but I'd love to see the 9/19 merged together as a long Cramlington to Sunderland route. Obviously don't expect anyone to do it end to end but it would be a useful little route in between.
