If you are heading into South Tyneside and the coast, the Crusader will take you to the heart of South Shields, where there are a number of attractions, shops and museums.
Our Crusader name comes from the 1936 Jarrow Crusades when a group of 200 Jarrow men marched 300 miles to London to protest against poverty.
