If some some of the weirs were flattened; the River Team widened; and some sort of harbouring facilities constructed near  Queensway North and Fifth Aveneue on tbe Team Valley (the Gateshead one, not the ones located in either Sunderland or Newcastle); then I think its would be possible to start a clipper service between Team Valley and North Shields with additional stops at Dunston Staithes, the Quayside, Bill Quay, Walker, Wallsend, Jarrow, Royal Quays, Tyne Dock and South Shields.

Boats would run every 6 minutes with a PVR of goodness knows.]]>

I think I've kept mine up to date incase I (or anyone else, I'm not precious) decide to actually do the map.

Anyway, it got me thinking about ferry and plane mapping and if there were any similar trends.


I'll start:

North Shields - Bergen
North Shields - Gothenburg
North Shields - Esbjerg
North Shields - Ijmuiden
North Shields - South Shields 

Cairnryan - Belfast 

Gourock - Dunoon
Gourock - Hunters Quay

Hull - Rotterdam

Dover - Calais

Poole - Guernsey

(various ferry's around the fjords in Norway, no idea what half the places were called, never mind the way they are spelt!) 

I think thats them all. If I remember any others or have any other trips, I'll add them. 

Feel free to add your own.]]>

For us bus/coach enthusiasts - it also offers the opportunity to see fleets of coaches in use on transfers from/to the cruises and of course the day excursions on the one day visits. I know I went to Newcastle last year when MSC Cruises visited and no less than 50 coaches were in use that day.

See below for a list of 2015 visits... I'll try and add more detail in further posts if I hear of additions to the list.

Admittedly, this sub-forum had previously existed in the opening stages of the site, but was removed due to the inactivity of it. Having discussed the matter with the administration team, we have come to a joint decision to reinstate this sub-forum - starting completely fresh (hence why we are saying that "All Things Water" was founded in March 2013)!

We believe at this early stage that the primary thread that will see active use in this sub-forum will be the "Shields Ferry" thread, but we hope that this will develop over time as we attract several other transport enthusiasts to the group and more opportunities for discussion of boats will arise. As the site's main focus is buses, they may be discouraged against joining, but only time will tell!

I now hand over the sub-forum to you guys! Enjoy.]]>
