I still cant remember the Redby X97 in seaburn, what year was it or roughly, the only Redby services that their did in Seaburn area that i can recall was:
from the start of dereg in 86, Redby ran a service between Sunderland Central to Seaburn as a circle route via Fulwell road, Sea Road, Roker Park, Roker under the name of Wearside Bus company, Then at first possible changes that were introduced in Feb 87 after dereg that Busways put on the 17A/17B in front of Redbys Wearside bus, Redby withdrew and Busways 17A/17B became the 17 Sunderland to Seaburn Camp.
Redby operated service 557 in Seaburn under secured contract.
Redby operated service 556/506 in Seaburn.
Redby operated service 18A/19A Southwick to Seaburn once summer.
Redby operated service 49/9/99 in Seaburn.
At the time when Redby received those double deckers (JBO types) their were usually used on service 42/43 Sunderland to Washington with Wear Buses operating service 242/243 5 minutes in front.
service 49 operated between Seaburn and Ryhope usually with those double deckers also, service 49 was cut between Hylton Castle and Ryhope and later turned into service 9 then with 99.
