Not sure which way it went.

There were 'express' variations of the via Hetton 16x services, that went to Newcastle via Newcastle Road.

Haha,I won't state my thoughts on all those services which were withdrawn or merged into one...

the 163 did go to heworth it was replaced by the 26 on the same route from sunderland and then the 29 and soon to be 35. I found the old timetable http://northeastbuses.co.uk/archive/GoNo...il2003.pdf
