I Know this doesn't interest much people but Does the Streetdecks currently on delivery have Voith Diwa.6 , ZF Ecolife or Daimler G90AMT Gearboxes?
(16 Feb 2016, 11:05 pm)kMichael It was the 8 first then when the 8 moved to via Hylton retail, the only buses to Washington on Chester Road, Hastings Hill is the 2/2A.
The 2/2A was longer way to the Washington Galliries, the 8 was classed as slightly quicker.

I'm not sure then but according to the changes on the link above it says:
Service X2 - Will be withdrawn and replaced by Lime route 8 between Washington & Sunderland with an identical route as it is now and also replaced by service X1 between Washington & Newcastle.
By the sounds of it, the 8 did directly replace the X2 between Sunderland & Washington.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:41 pm)S813 FVK Aha. Ive worked out what it is.
There was a time when the X8 was withdrawn and replaced with an extended 8 running from Castleside to Chester-le-Street (had previously changed to an X8 at Stanley). The 8 was later extended back to Sunderland, via the same route as previously (and also the X2 route) and replaced with service V8 between Stanley and Castleside.
That will be how the X2 was replaced.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:43 pm)Andreos1 I am going off my memory here and may be wrong but:
The 8 was Stanley - Castleside initially.
The X8 was Sunderland - Stanley.
The X2 was replaced by the 8.
The 8 replaced the X8 and stopped running to Castleside.

(16 Feb 2016, 11:47 pm)S813 FVK Thats exactly how it was, only without the period of time when the 8 ran between Castleside and Chester-le-Street. The Stanley - Castleside section was replaced by service V8.
