Or could 7 of the black cats Streetlites transfer onto the 35 with the 39 getting the scanias back? Either way the 35 is going to be a branded bus short.
The 35/36 service has been downgraded for years since the 535/536 were diverted via east Herrington and started to terminate at low moorsley instead of south hetton.
The 20 going the same way with these streetlites and the extension to shields, already some deptford drivers are saying that there’s been loads of reliability problems on the Durham section due to the extension to shields, and some drivers are saying that the 56 has been losing patronage over the past year.
The black cats scanias are going on the 35.
