The Shields Ferry will not operate evening crossings between Monday and Saturday for two weeks.
Nexus, the company which owns and operates the ferry, said it is reducing to a 12-hour timetable due to a lack of crew availability. However, a plan is in place to ensure the reinstatement of the full timetable from Monday 25 July.
The changes mean the last Ferry crossing from North Shields will be at 6pm, starting from this Monday, 11 July, until Saturday July 23.
