I think 9>5>26>26>5>9 would be well over the driving hours.

It would be around 5 hours 20 mins - which is duable but any day

Ever since the 50 merging with the 5 didnt really help but it was understandable to provide better vehicles which were the Whey Aye Five O Omnicitys. This point it would be nice if the 26 became the 88 again to allow the South Tyne brand to return. this point there should be:
5: Normal
5A: Interworking with the 5 (Renumbered 26)
9: Standalone Service
26: Renumber to 5A
50: Standalone
