What if 1 company got 2 contracts?

Such as Arriva got Lot 1 and 2
Stagecoach got Lot 3
And GNE only got NEXUS contracts and School Buses?

It might happen!

(19 Jan 2014, 2:46 pm)pringlj wrote I believe the changes were Service 2 merged into service 3; Service 15 merged into 16; old service 12 (linked with service 13) ended; Service 24 merged into 23, thus ending the Monday to Saturday service to Seaburn Camp. Maybe service 6 was scrapped then but I could be wrong .

(19 Jan 2014, 6:37 pm)pringlj wrote Looking in the bygone era section , there doesn't seem to be any post 2004 information relating to service changes which makes me even more sure that it was 2005 . I would like SNE to make a few enhancements in Sunderland but nothing on the scale of Go north east who don't seem to know what they are doing .

(20 Jan 2014, 11:09 pm)cbma06 wrote Service 1 was a Sunday Summer service. started off as Economic bus and sunderland busways open top buses did service 22 from Shields to Sunderland then after a couple of seasons later Shields depot only did the section between Shields and Whitburn/Seaburn and the wheatsheaf depot did Sunderland and Seaburn only as a number 1 service, didn't last long though.

service 32 was originally a joint service with service 31 with GNE, then later in life became just a service 31, then GNE left the service to Busways.

Service 36, well there was a yearly Sunday summer service from Hylton Castle/Town End Farm to Seaburn via Red House and Downhill, originally it was runned as service 26, and since a new service 26 started up between Sunderland and Seaburn Camp right in front of Catch A Bus number 6, then the summer service from North Estates to Seaburn became service 36.

(21 Jan 2014, 1:39 pm)AdamY wrote I haven't got a timetable, but the route of the 31/32 can be seen on this June 1989 Tyne & Wear PTE map. I've scanned in the Sunderland area for you take a look at.

(21 Jan 2014, 2:18 pm)cbma06 wrote Thanks for scanning the map AdamY

Ive found the faretable for the 31/32 and scanned it, but somehow I cant put it on the site from my laptop as it asks for a URL link.

If GNE were to run the service, it would probably change two or three times between now and cup final. (Boom Boom)
