Bank Holiday timetable online for X34 shows the old loop for the route as opposed to the recently change of direction
Timetable shows Harton Nook - Marsden - Horsley Hill - Harton Nook. Which is what the route used to to do but not any longer. This is going to confuse people if this timetable is correct.

(19 Mar 2018, 6:27 pm)big mac Would there be a demand for an all year round Sunday service on the X24/X34, rather than just the ones they put on in the run up to Christmas?
I've long found it surprising that the X34 in particular doesn't have a Sunday service at all given how busy it can get.

Driver on the 18 mentioned the 18 could be changing in June/July to go over the new bridge, then through the enterprise park then back on to its current route at Queen Alex Bridge towards Southwick.
Just driver talk but thought i would share.

(12 Apr 2018, 9:38 am)idiot Should make them run about a park or go off road instead. It's what they do with cyclists.
Sunderland Council wouldn't host the national championships cycling event as they were offered.

(12 Apr 2018, 10:47 am)Dan Makes sense in terms of attracting more fare-paying passengers - potential workers on the Enterprise Park - but imagine this decision would cause a bit of uproar.
A fair amount of pensioners use the 18 service to get to the Gala Bingo, near Queen Alexandra Bridge. Some of them would be able to catch the 11 as an alternative, but not all. Seems like they're not all that bothered, though, as Hylton Estate (near the Sunderland Crematorium and Round Robin), where again there a number of elderly residents, is still without a bus service since the 8 was re-routed.
