9 - Is actually a brilliant idea! - The service is always busy on that section of the route, there is generally a full load leaving Jarrow bound for Sunderland! The service is poorly used from North Shields to Jarrow, though!
26 - Not sure to be honest, as I never use the route. It will provide a new number of links, but does it really need to be extended to Doxford International? I don't think so!
36/36A - Generally, very poor passenger numbers! The 36A is always busier, I've only ever saw the 36 leave Sunderland with three passengers!
X3/X36 - I disagree with the fact the X3 is busier than the X36. They both have equal loads in my opinion. The only problem with withdrawing the X3 would be the Boldon ASDA-Sunderland section of the route, however this will be covered by the 9! The X36 should be busier if the withdrawal of the of the 36/36A! Both the X3 and X36 are busy Newcastle-East Boldon!
