Unsure on Northumberland Park train links, since it's not open but ferry should be easily fixable, it's every 30 minutes so could just work off the other ferry. If it's purely for East Cramlington to Seaton Delaval train times, then they'd be better subsidising the 57 instead imo, and use the timings from the most utterly pointless extension from Whitley Bay to North Shields from when it used to go down there 10 year ago or so.
