The embedded timetable only shows the docks runs (east of the City centre) when you select “towards Hollycarrside”. Selecting towards “Sunderland Docks” is showing runs between Tunstall Bank and Vine Place only, no further east and no 38A runs. Surely the wrong way round, if anything? But shouldn’t both directions show runs to the Docks consider you could want to travel through the City Centre and back again.
I now also noticed the PDF and embedded timetable differ on the route number, the former suggests that its the 38A that run to Tunstall Bank but the return journey into Sunderland/Docks is just the 38. The embedded timetable has all the shorts (City centre to Docks) as 38A and all runs to Tunstall Bank as 38.
I don’t live on this route, but it seems very confusing to me.
What number bus do I need? Can I go from Hollycarrside direct to the docks? I’m not sure I could answer either confidently…
The timetables have been uploaded to confuse... I selected the dates of the 11th & 13th September, then selected to the docks you get an hourly from Tunstall Bank to Vine Place, select to Hollycarrside and up pop the 38 and 38A.
The 38 arrives Vine Place at xx56, then goes forward to the Docks and back to Tunstall Bank at xx00
The 38A on the timetable shows Vine Place at xx30 to the docks and returning to the Interchange at xx49
No matter how you look at it the service to Asda is much poorer.
The 38C appears ex Interchange at 1910/2010/2110/2210/2310 and returning from Tunstall at 1935/20/35/2135/2235
