It's a good idea to have a direct link between Tynemouth and North Shields Fish Quay/Ferry. A positive change, especially for summer.

Don't think the 333 serves North Shields does it? Seems to be the Ferry Landing to Tynemouth only, if I'm looking at it right which seems even more crackers.

Truthfully, I don't really understand the 19/19A. They serve absolutely nothing between Northumberland Park and Killingworth/Cramlington pretty much now which isn't already done by an existing service (57/57A/354) and the rest of has nothing there bar Silverlink which is too far to be useful.

If they want to serve the hospital better, then the service needs to actually penetrate some houses imo ie. something like this for hospital links would be 100x better:


People round here are always asking for links to Rake Lane and Killingworth, people from New Hartley want a link to Cramlington. Not to mention the Killingworth to Northumbria links aswell. Don't believe Tynemouth or Marden currently have a bus to Rake Lane either so it's more links and makes the 333 actually useful?
