Shields Ferry evening crossings stopped due to Covid
The Shields Ferry will not operate in the evenings to try to protect services from the latest wave of Covid cases and the Omicron variant.
If you're a favorite In gambling or money-earning SLOT ONLINE gaming, you will have to turn to it. Gambling games like different types of online casinos can do the same.
Nexus which runs the ferry said introducing a 12-hour timetable from Sunday will help it ensure there are enough staff to operate the route across the River Tyne.
Customer services director Huw Lewis said: “Reducing services is the last thing that we want to do but these are prudent measures to take now so that we can try to protect the Shields Ferry from further Covid-19 disruption.
“By planning a small reduction in service we hope to avoid short-notice cancellations if members of the crew fall ill.
"This way our customers can better know what to expect and plan their journeys with confidence in the weeks ahead."
Evening crossings and the new timetable will be kept under review.
The new timetable will see the first crossing at 06.45 GMT, Monday to Saturday, and the last crossings from South Shields at 17:45 GMT and at 18:00 from North Shields.
