Weekend Header of the Newcastle to Shields Ferry

This Ferry Service using the river Tyne to get people back and forth was a great idea and more direct & quieter than the roads. I wonder if a service like that would work today?

You live and learn never knew that one, there used to be one that ran to Ryton from Hebburn, think it would be an excellent idea, but I think either one or two ferries went to Scotland nor sure.

This may have been the ferry which was taken from the Tyne and after updating, became part of the Jacobite fleet on Lock Ness
