Not sure if was registered same time as Catch a Bus 6, as that was started back in Jnauary 1987 but ran Simonside to Sunderland and did not go into Shields until a year or so later. The E6 we have now if I remember correctly came about when the pointer darts 1749 to 1753 got repainted into Economic livery and was reinvented. I was working in Sunderland at that time so was between 1992 and 1995.
If I remember the E6 was registered at least 3 times, one time the service was registered under the South Shields Busways brand and not Economic, another time it was a timetable which were odd times and not set times, I remember bristols used to be allocated on the E6
