GNE tried and tested this previously with service 37 many moons agoI think others meant that the 60 would replace the 20 between South Shields and Sunderland. Not too sure why to be honest as the 20 is only roughly 10 minutes longer between Sunderland and Durham than the 60 between Sunderland and Parkside. So it wouldn’t benefit reliability that much.
Although, the branding might work better, with Drifter having connotations of the sea etc. Unlikely in the current climate though.
