Must be a pretty grueling shift to do on there.
Believe me it's one of the most boring routes ever.
I'd much rather be on the 17 or 19. I just feel sorry for the drivers stuck on the NTL and Coaster rota, some of the most boring routes ever. Imagine circling Hadrian Park and Wallsend for three hours, if not more, then back to North Shields on a 80?
