The changes to the 8 means the two lime service are now running quite different routes. With common sections been simply the main locations Stanley Bus Station - Chester Front Street - Sunderland Interchange. I wonder if they plan to keep both branded as 'lime'?
I do like the fact there making changes to an established service. I'm surprised the peak time X36's remain despite, the 8 operating the same route? Unless the idea is, that the peak time X36's will replace the 8's when certain journeys operate as 8A?
Great news the 4 is extended on evenings. Wonder if the compass/nexus 79 will be withdrawn then? On evenings anyways.
Few cut backs on Saturday mornings it seems. The renumbering of the former WSS services seems sensible, simple numbering is easier.
