It includes information for the following services

38/38A/38B
65
202
203
238
And the new X7

There nothing about the 9/X3/99/26/36 and the new X36 at all. Which I don't understand considering these services operate in the Sunderland Area

The difference between a "Bus Briefing" leaflet and a "Customer Consultation" leaflet is simple... With the former, you're letting customers know of the result of a Customer Consultation - which services are going to be changed as a result of the consultations recently held.
With the latter, you're asking passengers to fill out a poll on upcoming service changes - what is the customer's opinion on something happening that could potentially affect them?

Something past, something future - that's the difference in short. The first bunch of services you mentioned are all part of the "Bus Briefing" leaflet because changes have occurred as a result of a "Customer Consultation". The other bunch are all services that will be affected as a result of the questions asked and the results received by GNE. Those services aren't subject to change by 26th March, as the others are.

A scan of the leaflet you spoke of can be seen here.
