Stagecoach Sunderland
I didn't realise any SC Sunderland bus went into Park Lane, I thought they only came in when theyd been in an accident like someone broke a window or driver needed the toilet.
However there is a 16 board which pulls into Park lane once a day, anyone know why this is? |

I’m not sure if there are still other services or if it’s just the 16 now (but there certainly used to be others), but they terminate at Park Lane on a night before continuing to the north Sunderland estates at around 23:00. This is historical for Sunderland, and the tradition is believed to have had roots to the days of tram operation in Sunderland. Back then, there would be a line-up of trams in Fawcett Street waiting for the whistle to send some northwards towards Southwick, Fulwell and Seaburn and some southwards towards Villette Road, Grangetown, Durham Road or Kayll Road. This continued into the 1970s when the point inspector in the Central Bus Station would blow their whistle spot on 11pm and every last bus would shut its doors and race to the outer estates and back to either Hylton Road or Fulwell depots and in later years the Wheatsheaf.

Shouldn't they have been converted prior to use on service work? The company have essentially been actively discriminating against wheelchair-bound customers for close to 2 years at this point.
