点评:I've just used the Shields ferry for the first time and really enjoyed my little trip. It's well used and such a quick way to cross the river.
I purchased a go north east tyne and wear rover ticket and this gave me access to all the buses I needed and the ferry over. Really good value.
The trip only takes around 7 minutes and they run every 30 minutes.
My only one gripe is that there are no toilets onboard and once over the river we couldn't find any public toilets anywhere on the walk along to the fish quay. There was a sign post for public toilets but none we could find.
There was lots of interesting looking bars and restaurants , accessed by turning right once you walked out of the ferry terminal. It's about a 10 minute walk to the main area of bars and restaurants.
We passed a very steep looking hill with a sign for the town centre but we decided not to venture up there, having walked miles around south shields before our ferry trip started.
We didn't go over until afternoon and if we go again we'll make a point of going early so we can have a leisurely stroll and explore more.
翻译:我刚刚第一次坐希尔兹渡轮,非常享受这次短途旅行。它使用率很高,而且过河非常快捷。
我买了一张东北泰恩-威尔郡渡轮票,可以乘坐所有需要的公交车和渡轮。真的很划算。
行程大约只需7分钟,每30分钟一班。
我唯一不满意的是船上没有厕所,过了河后,我们在去鱼码头的路上找不到任何公共厕所。虽然有公共厕所的路标,但我们一个也没找到。
有很多看起来很有意思的酒吧和餐馆,出了渡轮码头右转就可以到。步行大约10分钟就能到酒吧和餐馆的主要区域。
我们经过了一座看起来很陡峭的小山,山上有指向市中心的路标,但我们决定不上去,因为在乘渡轮之前,我们已经在南希尔兹走了好几英里。
我们直到下午才去,如果我们再去的话,我们会特意早点去,这样我们就可以悠闲地散步并探索更多。
