(03 Apr 2017, 8:41 pm)busmanT What makes you think that?

The revised registration is just "City Centre to South Hylton" so the Docks section definitely not staying with Stagecoach.

For just over £1 extra weekly ticket passengers can buy a SmartZone ticket, travel on Arriva, Stagecoach and Go North East in Sunderland.

Didn't even notice that, i doubt many people use the Sunderland to docks section on a evening and Sundays anyway, probables all OAP's.


Wonder if "Go North East" will just run the service between Sunderland and the docks.


I buy the smartzone pass anyway, much better than the megarider.

I think it would be a good interoworking with the 516 as it's practically a loop.

Looks like it is a replacement for the evening services that Stagecoach plan to withdraw but it would be good to see the bus allocated to the 516 remain in South Shields at the end of 516 duties  and pick up on the 12.

Could be, i would like to see Go North East win the 37/73 again, as it means i can use my smartzone pass on it.

I think Go North East will keep the 88, as for the rest independent companies.


Going off topic but couldn't they just merge the 37/73, so the route would be: Doxford Park – Herrington Burn – Washington – Coach Road - Concord - Castletown - Sunderland 

180 minutes - Hourly - PVR 3
