I still can't get my head around why Stagecoach haven't done this when you consider how well used the service is. There can be hardly a spare seat left on a double decker sometimes. Surely there is a demand for a Sunday service, even if it was just hourly during the daytime.

(26 Sep 2017, 10:51 am)Kuyoyo Indeed - hourly 13 to Hemlington and hourly 13a to Stainton.
The 10 meanwhile is re-routed via Keith Road and Linthorpe Road.
For the Busway change:
X34 is a revised route with the Horsely Hill loop reversed. Also the introduction of the Sunday journeys in the run-up to Christmas.
X24: Sunday journeys introduced as well as journeys to Doxford Park (from where not mentioned) which will operate as X24A.
16: Amended timetable and route in the Red House area
4: Minors changes to Weekday timetable
X1: amended timetable to better reflect shift patterns

Apologies if mentioned but common sense has prevailed with Stagecoach and the traffic commissioner, the X63 now omits Ballliol and West Farm during the Killingworth Bridge works.
That diversion which was adding huge delays is still being observed by Arriva who claim...nexus made us

I can see a few people boarding the x24a for Hastings hill and getting a shock when it turns off at the roundabout near the Shell garage.
I presume it isn't practical for the timetable to have it serve all the stops on Chester road and still serve doxford?

Yes it is poor that Hastings hill is not served for such a big period of the day. The stop at sevenoaks drive in particular is quite a well used one that will now have no mid afternoon service.
I'd suggest that this tinkering could be a bad move as the service is growing and now they have effectively cut it for at least a part of the route.

It's a very clear and obvious service gap, so if they were well used after 4pm, they wouldn't have been dropped from service. With the main patronage being Sunderland to Newcastle daytime, I wouldn't imagine them stops seeing much use after that time (currently 16:19 departure being the first). Journeys into Sunderland after that time remain unchanged - would be more concerned if they were removed.
Speaking of the X24 - how did we all miss this?! It's been a while since we last heard from Mr. Clifford!

From what I remember, I have boarded the x24 three times at that time of day towards Newcastle, and somebody got on each time at at least one of the stops that will be missed out when the changes come in.
Granted, the number of people using the service in that direction at that time is never that high, I think about 6 was the most passengers I can remember.
However, I think a sensible compromise would be to have maintained at least one of the three afternoon peaks as the x24 regular route to avoid such a huge gap.
