(03 Oct 2021, 5:34 pm)Andreos1 I agree. Advertising routes that aren't part of the express offering needs to be improved.First of all I don't get why 55 isn't the 37, it follows the exact same route to Hetton. But I also think that the 35 should be split, Or there atleast should be like a 36 (a different one to now) Which begins at Sunderland goes the same way upto New Herrington, go up the A182 to Washington, then Birtley, down into Chester-Le-Street as 36 or X35. The name the 55 the 36 or 37.
Whether that be the 35, 71, 65 or 55 - those routes are potentially a lifeline for some and I'm not sure the obsession with a decker that has tables, does anything positive for those 'lesser' services.
I'd argue the traffic around Gilesgate is bad for a number of reasons. The layout and infrastructure is determined by the topography and layout of the land.
The other aspect is the need to giveway to all the traffic coming from the A690 and the lack of any quick, effective public transport from the areas leading up to jct 62 and the reliance of the Belmont P&R site.

Little Coasters routes and Little Pinks need USB (in fact do any solos have usb) LC need NSA since the 11/42/42A/19 are long routes. Not sure if the Little Pinks have NSAYeah, they do.
