Looks like a hoax to me...
Could be a hoax, I seen it bazza's Facebook Group and thought that is interesting, and copied and pasted it over onto here, Only other thing is GNE are planning a big reveal of the service and have asked for it to be taken down hence why you can't see it.
I can see how it can be a hoax, as it is quite a long route, and surely with it being an Airport Shuttle Service you'd expect it to be alot quicker, considering by looks of it it'll be going via Hebburn/Jarrow/Boldon Asda and Cowgate. With Stops at Heworth/Gateshead/Newcastle. Looks to me if true GNE are trying to provide competition with the Metro. Plus is no way if the metro takes 45 minutes from Sunderland to the Airport, that GNE would able to compete as there service would take possibly double the time the Metro does.
Surely you'd have it be more Direct and have it Stop at the Major Stops, not minor ones like Jarrow. Although these could be Areas that provide quite alot of daily passengers to the Airport.
