Also, is the X34 still being moved to Walkergate Depot? It would be nice to have a mixture of E400s on this route.

I wonder if the vehicle allocation will also change - some gas buses appearing on the E's with some of the ADL E300s appearing on other Sunderland routes? Hopefully this will mean that Sunderland depot could get more gas-powered buses in the future?

(14 May 2019, 6:35 pm)Michael wrote [ -> ]Hopefully in the next 2 or so years!

Does Sunderland have enough room for all the extra buses though? 


PVR for the E's is 15 
The current 30 interworks with the 10/11
X20 is a 1 PVR


would say around 17/18 more buses at Sunderland, currently they have 82 buses.

Sad to see the night buses go at least it shows Stagecoach willing to try things.

Think the main problem was that the likes of the N1, N39 and N40 in particular served places that you can easily get a taxi too at a reasonable cost. Plus if there's four people splitting a taxi fare, the taxi would win over cost on most. Believe the N88 did ok, which was probably down to it serving outside of the main city.

CSV Data for all are 'Route and timetable change due to the opening of the new Bus Interchange'

Does it say if any of them are using the new bus station?

Put it this way if they do not use the bus station there is going to be at least 75% of the new station not in use. So I'm guessing as they use the old station the will move to the new one. Hence the change on VOSA

One tends to transfer to Shields, well has for the past two years for the Es PVR increase, although with Sunderland operating these services I am not sure if they will receive an additional decker.

Will guarantee they will take up the whole PVR on the X24 some days. The PVR is 3
