Could be both area's.
I just hope they don't decide to change all the Sunderland services again, if any changes it'll be for certain journeys aren't getting used.

The 9 is a funny one - sometimes i don't think it needs to be every 15 minutes between Sunderland and Jarrow - only at certain times of the day but you could say that for most of the routes......
As for the 5 - not sure what they could do to that route.
--------------
Wonder if GNE could change the 40/41 and 80 to make it one route.... although not sure how the route would be set out as i don't really know the area.

Sorry but can someone please tell the people who run the GNE Facebook page to learn where the routes go again... over and over i see them giving out wrong info - example from today:

The 353 service must be allocated one of the longer Solos, 637 - 639, owing to the higher capacity contractual requirement.
You've a greater chance of a red Versa turning up than 626.

Apparently serious issues with Diamond replacements 16, V7 & V8. Sections of former Diamond (43/44/44A) route from Stanley to Newcastle being missed out. Buses (Omnidekkas) uncomfortable seats for long journeys and heavy window misting ( Citaros and Streetiles have forced ventilation/demisting - as proposed by Nexus/NECTA as requirement for QCS) - I was in a heated debate tonight with a cross section of ages deploring the recent changes. Service has halved in frequency from every 15 mins at key locations to only 2 per hour.

30 seats on 637 - 639 opposed to the standard 27 on the other Nexus branded examples.
I think the number in the model name of Optare products represents the size of the vehicle? As such, the standard size is 8.9 metres and 637 - 639 are 9 metres?
