Trains from South Shields continue to North Shields and St James - you could change at Monument?

I but that would take about an Hour maybe longer, otherwise from South Shields you'd have to get the 5/88/88A or 27 to Jarrow and then get the 9 over to North Shields. Apparently the Shields Ferry could get axed if the LA7 Changes Happen.

Now that I have thought about it a Metro Bridge over the Tyne from North to South due to the DFDS Ferry, I don't even think one under water would work either due to the Depth of the Ferry Underwater unless it was like the Tyne Tunnel but for a Metro but even that may not work.

So only option would be for a Bus Service between North and South Shields
