Curious to see what loads are like next weekend - Bank Holiday and nice weather (possibly).
Went through the tunnel on it for the first time earlier this year (on a Bank Hol Sunday).
Decent loads between Park Lane and Jarrow - which should have ensured a healthy profit and then a reasonable load under the river to the other side - although it did only stop once in the Percy Main/Meadow Well area.
Not many got on at North Shields, although by this point it was circa 20mins late and most people were heading to the coast at that time of the day.
Certainly a route of two halves and the route it takes between Howdon and North Shields doesn't lend itself to local runs - particularly when other services go into the estates.
