Credit to GNE as Sunderland Network map now shows both 2A and 38 which I mentioned being omitted previously. So GNE is listening and acting quick! (despite the map did not indicate ASDA on it)
However, the 3 bus per hour (1x38, 2x2A) was not regularly timed, so there would be a 38 and a 2A arriving same time at ASDA towards city center at :45, then a 30 mins wait for next 2A. Not a perfect timetable.
