(17 Jan 2024, 9:15 am)Storx It's a bit bizarre route, comes across as a route designed 50 year ago and never really changed with stuff changing around it.
(17 Jan 2024, 11:30 am)F114TML It gets a lot of St Aiden's kids too, as well as a fair few for Sandhill View and Hill View (Grangetown), also a few people who work at the industrial sites by the QA Bridge. It's not unusual for that morning 18A to be standing room only at points on a schoolday, particularly if it's a 39000 doing it.

I remember the old 6/7 which used to be a reliable place to find H-BNL Olympians until they were dispersed around Stagecoach NE in 2001/2002. Though the one or two that remained at Sunderland would still pop up now and again on the service. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...9868604651
(19 Jan 2024, 1:50 am)stagecoachbusdepot It's changed a fair bit over the years to be fair. Back in the day it used to be decker operated on a 20 min frequency in both directions (circular with 19) with an evening and Sunday service too. The route has changed, particularly in Grindon/Springwell (oddly abandoning the bit of Springwell Road where it was the only service, now just unused shelters outside the health centre etc), and the cut of the Durham Road/Kayll Road bit, as well as the Town/Grangetown/Leechmere/Tunstall limb which went years ago. Some of the changes happened way back when the old Service 6 was withdrawn and the 18/19 revised to replace it in part. Others more recent.

Sort of route which could be actually be useful if it was maybe adjusted to serve different areas like Springwell Road you mentioned, know the stops, you're talking about.

(25 Jan 2024, 5:30 pm)cbma06 I remember when stagecoach cancelled the 18/19 on a Sunday, but there choosed to do it on the queens birthday weekend, so from that Saturday until Wednesday morning there was no 18/19 running (Sunday was date it was cancelled, Monday was a bank holiday, and it was a Sunday service on the Tuesday due to the queen birthday). The axe of the originally 18/19 was due to Stagecoach streamlining all there bus services to make bigger profit margins and forcing passengers to travel via city centre and transfer onto another service to get what there needed to go.

(25 Jan 2024, 8:16 pm)Storx Aye doesn't surprise me they done that, I heard the Stagecoach cuts at that time we're pretty disliked. Wasn't really following it but I know it got butchered apart, it's a shame really as not everyone can be bothered to go via Sunderland and stand around in Fawcett Street etc. They're not particularly the nicest places in the world, especially at night.

(25 Jan 2024, 9:51 pm)Economic505 Back in the early 1980s, the 18/19 (118/119 83-86)forerunner was actually the 121/122 Tunstall Rd to Seaburn ; and the 118 Springwell Rd to Seaburn. The 121/122 ran every 10 mins combined.

(09 Feb 2024, 7:05 pm)Rob44 I fawcett street where all the bus stops are with the wetherspoons to the south of it and the bridge at the north? If so, after have a few in the spoons i was wafting for the E1/2/6 to shields and 2 cars, i think a Audi rs4 and a merc a45 were racing each other round and round on that street. Was better that F1 but could have done with some ballards. No worse than market street in Newcastle like
