25 - 81 Bus Route Every 30 Minutes Monday to Sat, Every Hour Sundays and Evenings
8 - Stanley to Washington only additionally serving Vigo Lane, North Road and Newcastle Road instead of Picktree (covered by 50) - Every 30 Minutes, Mon - Sat, Every Hour Sundays and Evenings
81/82/82A withdrawn.
I agree that the new setup with the 81/82/83/25 daytime vs evening is overly confusing. Can't see the 8 being changed however as of course that's commercial where the rest are contracted. Personally I think the 25/82/82A should be merged into the 81/83, providing a half hourly service from Gateshead to Washington to Barmston Court extending to Waterview Park/Sunderland on evenings/Sundays. Only downside is you're reducing connectivity taking away the link to Chester
