(05 Apr 2016, 5:20 pm)Jackamcardle Pardon me if I offend anyone but I find mostly all routes around the Sunderland area (700, 39, 33,33A, 99, X36, X35, 56, 36, 35, 9, 238, 38, 60, and 2/2A) very dull and boring to ride.

I do like some though - X7, 61, 8, 78, 20/20A.

I wasn't, was just wondering as you didn't give a reason.


All bus routes bore me to be honest.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

The 238 is one I quite like.
Particularly the bit between Houghton and Seaham.

The full 38 is one I may have to do again before it goes.
Certainly interesting!

(05 Apr 2016, 5:23 pm)Adrian Don't apologise! Sunderland is a pretty dull and boring place, apart from the Seaburn coastline. Not a lot else to see really.

It is, but so's Fencehouses.... Tongue

The 238 is canny on the Seaham-Sunderland section too. Never been on the full 38 but if I have a Saturday free will give it a go sometime before it goes and possibly the 99 too.

The bit between Shiney and Penshaw is canny too.
Particularly as it heads around Old Penshaw Village.

Sorry -238.
The 38 doesnt go over that way.

The 238 skirts the far side of Penshaw Monument and there are some great (if brief) views.
Not a location that crops up on photos too often.

The 36 going out towards CLS is a nice route, overall. Pineapples, castles and a coach depot. What more do you want?

I agree with that except I have never used the X7 or 61, the 265 between Durham and Hetton is good.

Since you mention it, I did it this afternoon and it is boring, made even less fun by the vinyls covering the windows, was like looking through my letterbox trying to see the view outside.

Got to say I much prefer the 20A to the 20, as the 20A seems to stop less than 20 which feels like it stops every 5 seconds between East Rainton and Houghton-le-Spring.

X20 is better though, just a shame it's a limited service, used to love the Pronto X20.

The traffic lights and road traffic management on Gillas Lane do my head in.

Love the 'short cuts' the X20 does between Durham and Houghton.
Even though my eyes are taken out in the process.
