I do also think some of the Stagecoach South Shields "Town Services" could be merged into some of the Stagecoach Sunderland routes providing much better Cross-City Connections i.e. South Shields Service 30 merging with Sunderland's Service 4 or 13 on specific boards as I appreciate the frequencies of all 3 service mentioned are different.
