There have been reports in the local press that South Shields depot is proposing to reduce part of its operations by transferring 55 drivers and 22 buses to other depots. It is believed that service X34 will possibly be transferred to Walkergate depot, with the ‘E’ Group of services being moved to Sunderland. If this proposed change goes ahead, it is likely to take place in June or July 2019.

It would make more sense interworking it with the X24 in regards to driver changeovers and it would allow the bigger layover times on the X24 to help out the X34 which often end up running late.  But If that was to happen I dont know what vehicles they would allocate, as the X34 requires deckers all day but the X24 only does at peak times and single deckers suffice during the main part of the day.
