Go North East’s Connections 4 service is to be extended to serve the new Amazon site at Follingsby Max for workers at the new firm.

The bus company is also making improvements to the 50A service, which will operate via Cherry Blossom Way and Nissan to provide an accessible service for employees at IAMP and Nissan and later journeys to South Shields for the latest shift finishes.
