Looks to be that there is some form of TTRO on barrack road on the 12.I’m assuming that it affects the rest of the buses that go via barrack road including the 39/40.Is there some sort of road works coming up or something like that?

Stagecoach are to introduce a new service in South Shields to compliment the existing service 12 that was cut from every 30 minutes to hourly in May.
The new service will be numbered 13 and will run from the Town Centre to Cleadon Park(The Lonnen) via the coast, possibly similar to the 516 if not instead of.
Watch this space....
