I had an appointment at South Tyneside Hospital this morning and noticed a bus stop (complete with Nexus flag) near the main entrance coming from Harton Lane inside the hospital grounds.

Anyone with knowledge of the South Tyneside network know what service(s) used this stop and when did they cease? I've never noticed the stop before and it seems in pretty good condition (paint wise etc). No timetable boards were evident and I forgot to note the stop number.
