In northern twoc and busways livery.
I remember the 17 and 25 been extended to Doxford park.
The 26 went to the forge didn’t it

It was the 32 that went to Seaburn (Sundays only) before the 31 came on
the scene, I believe? The 31 first appeared as that joint service in
1988 whereas the 32 started back in 1987. When the 32 went daily, the
section north of the river was withdrawn though the 17 had already been
in operation for some months before that. The 17 and 25 seem to have
swapped terminals back and forth at the north end too, switching between
South Bents and Seaburn between them.
17 started 23-03-87 (CBS to Seaburn)
31 started 11-04-88
32 started 18-07-87 (Sundays, Doxford Park - Seaburn) then 11-12-87 (Doxford Park - CBS)
Interestingly I found reference
to a Service 8 which was to operate
from Central Bus Station to Ferryboat Lane via Hylton Castle Road but appears to have only lasted a metter of weeks in the summer of 1988 - does anyone recall this one?
