CCTV has been installed at a Jarrow bus shelter to improve security and provide passengers with greater reassurance.
The cameras were put in place at the shelter at Kirkstone Avenue, Jarrow as part of the Nexus Bus Strategy – a three-year plan to improve local bus services which is supported by Northumbria Police.
Nexus has also installed bus shelter CCTV at seven other locations across South Tyneside, including Lyon Street, Hebburn, Fellgate Avenue, Jarrow, Calf Close Lane, Jarrow, Prince Consort Road, Hebburn, Prince Edward Road and Centenary Avenue in Harton and Lizard Lane in Whitburn.
Director of Strategy for Nexus, Tobyn Hughes, said: "We want passengers to have the confidence that they can wait safely at bus shelters. The CCTV cameras will help us to achieve that."
