- To improve access to employment and leisure facilities, most journeys on service 8 will run via Hylton Riverside Retail and Enterprise Parks, instead of Chester Road. This gives a fast, regular service from Sunderland City Centre to the shops and offices, as well as creating new direct links from Washington and County Durham.
- Some journeys will continue to run via Chester Road and will be numbered 8A.
- There will be changes to the times of some journeys because of this revised route.
