Sunderland has received investment in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Consett only received new vehicles in 2006, 2013, 2016, 2019/20Didn't Consett get new buses in and 2006/7/8 with the Omnicitys2013/2015/2016/2018/2019/2020. Sunderland got nothing in 2008. The only reason they got new buses in 2011 were because 2/2A were operating buses from before 2000's. Sunderland got nothing in 2015. 2016 after 12 years old vehicles.
No more limited stop than the X30/31/70/71/72
A exception was Drifter which got new buses in 2009 & 2013 due to capacity reasons. But those 2009 buses were kept and placed on the 39. Xlines Consett/Stanley services when I have checked which is normally every 1-3 Hours the most I have seen in 25.
