Shouldn't be anything hugley different at this stage, as Sunderland drivers and buses have their own normal booked duties. The ex-Shields drivers will be working their routes in which they were transferred over for, being familiar to those routes and those vehicles only (the Shields drivers have not yet been type-trained on the Scanias for example). At this stage some Sunderland drivers are voluntarily in the process of being trained up on the Es and X20/30 so that they are able to cover the Shields routes when needed, so to minimise disruption or lost mileage. I'm sure that over time when things settle down that ex-Shields drivers will be type-trained and familiarised with Sunderland local work.
All 15 E300 and 4 E400 will be moving across to Sunderland, with the X20/30 likely to be seeing two or three E200 move over - looking like MAN ones atm.
I take there is no change to X34 other than the transfer as nothing has been listed on website.
