There was a timetable for an open-top service between South Shields and Seaburn but for some reason must have been taken down. I've put it back online. It's Economic service 22 - which was running during the summer of 1997. Perhaps this had been numbered the 555 at some point?

I'm pretty sure the 555 was allegedly operated by Northern. Economic/South Shields Busways might have taken over the operation of the service at some point in the early 90s but I think this is a re-introduction of this service rather than a renumbering. Maybe I'm wrong though.
I seem to remember the open topped, City Sightseeing bus around South Shields just a few years back. Pretty sure some of the bus stops along the top of the cliffs from Gypsys Green to Marsden Rock are/were marked for the City Sightseeing service.
