Harder for passengers alighting, and makes Park Lane more useless as buses will have to double back on themselves if they're heading North from the horse shoe side. They could have made it better for buses by merely enforcing the current bus lane, which nobody ever pays attention to because they know Sunderland Council don't care.

That's not what the art work depicts? Vine Place is Westbound only.

If Vine Place has been changed then there is no bus loop. it is impossible. The route I repeated is that which the council put in the Echo some time ago. If Holmeside is westbound and Vine place the only alternative is that which they effected during lockdown, sending everything via Stockton Road, Park Road and Burdon Road. Which is even further away from their town plan which is centrered on High Street West.
