The list I gave were as hyperlinks, so you should have just been able to click the service number for its timetable?

Stagecoach in Sunderland's 8 is on the same timetable as Compass Community Transport's 8X. Part of the route (albeit only a tiny bit) the 8 covers Monday to Saturday daytimes is covered by the 8X on evenings and on Sundays, when the 8 does not operate. Having used the service plenty of times to kill fifteen minutes here and there, it's primarily used by elderly people, hence why Nexus deem it essential for contract.
I can also confirm that the vehicle which operates the 37 on a Monday to Friday evening then goes onto do the 8X on the night.
The first 8X of the evening from the Golden Lion public house (see this photo for a rough idea of what the terminus looks like) starts at 19:05, getting to South Hylton Metro for 19:13. Arrives at Pennywell Road for 19:20. Half hour frequency with a PVR of 1, so timings aren't difficult to work out.

The first 38C departs Park Lane at 20:10 each Mon-Fri evening. Sundays it's on all day (similar to the 8X), starting from 10:10am.
