00:01The Shields Ferry service across the River Tyne remains suspended for the duration of the time engineers work to fix storm damage at the North Shields landing.
00:11Transport chiefs say the landing was damaged during Storm Chandra last week, and urgent repairs are now underway before the ferry can return to service.
00:21Nexus, which runs the ferry, says replacement buses are running through the Tyne tunnel while the work continues.
00:27Officials say underwater inspections and repairs are needed, and that conditions must be safe before work can proceed.
00:34The council and operator say this disruption is temporary, and they hope to resume sailings later in the week once repairs have been completed.
