Soon to be 16:25.
I don't get why they don't split the 8 in 2 it's clearly not working.
Stanley -> Washington
and
Washington -> Sunderland
and work with Nexus to get arid of some of the local services in Washington, 82 possibly bolted on the Washington -> Sunderland and then something else on the other side, not sure what but I'm sure there's some area of Washington or take some extremely slow route from CLS to Washington to speed up the 50 which I agree is too slow now.
No-one arguably loses anything as there's nothing between Washington and Sunderland from CLS and beyond that way who'd use the 78 to Sunderland anyway.
