Sunderland Bus Briefing
Bet Michael is happy now!
X3 is still running, but with a express service from Monkwearmouth and West Boldon to Newcastle, which will omit Wardley and Boldon ASDA which will be fantastic!
X36 is running every half hour, as I suggested.
The peak service will be the 99A, to replace the 36/36A.
Sounds good to me...
Much as expected, but the surprise is the continuation of the long drawn out death throes of the X3, which wasn't mentioned in the consultation, although it's demise was implied by the changes to the 9 & X36, so I added onto the comments my wanting it to be continued. Speeding it up is good as long as it doesn't stupidly miss out Gateshead Interchange like the 27X, a way to intentionally try to put off passengers, and runs hourly, which the Briefing seems to imply it won't.
