85/86 were the old 325/326 circulars.
325 ran anti-clockwise from North Shields - Tynemouth - Marden Estate - Cullercoats - Whitley Bay - Monkseaton - North Tyneside Hospital - New York - West Chirton - Meadowell - North Shields. 326 ran the opposite way around.
The 325/326 were also the first service in the North East of England to be operated by low floor buses. Namely by Dennis Lance SLF / Wright Pathfinder 320s. 5 vehicles were brought for a service with a PVR of 4. However in later years the frequency was increased to every 20 minutes before being numbered the 85/86. In the end the services were discontinued as they were uneconomical to run as a circular service. It has been replaced as follows....
