Is the 55 even going to exist after? From what I've heard the X1 / X20 is replacing it.

I’ve just noticed though that Follinsby Park doesn’t seem to be included in the Gateshead zone or Sunderland zone, double checking what I thought that it’s indeed in the Borough of Gateshead, is it a mistake that it’s excluded from that ticket? Also considering the below anomaly about Seaham, it might have been nice for the Sunderland ticket to include Follingsby too, so both areas can benefit considering it’s on the border of Gateshead to Sunderland.

Its also a little odd that a City of Sunderland zone is actually including Seaham and Murton, when they’re not part of Sunderland. Washington and Houghton is one thing being City of Sunderland Council and Tyne and Wear etc., but as a passenger I certainly wouldn’t think of a ‘City of Sunderland’ ticket being valid in areas of County Durham. Maybe it should been Sunderland Plus or something?

Isn't the City of Sunderland area just what will be the Sunderland and District routes. Looking at what routes there are it certainly seems that way at least anyway. Obviously they can't call it that yet though as it doesn't exist yet. 

Not sure whether the 9/26 are becoming part of it yet as they're the only routes going out the area.
