This was probably done to re-assure customers that the 83 service is getting replaced in some form, but it's backfired because it's so complex to understand. The timetable, however, isn't.
I appreciate that one could argue that the numbering is slightly odd given that there is no route variation on the Birtley section now, but this was done because the 82 service continues to Heworth whereas the 82A does not. If the bus went into Birtley and came out as an 82A, when do you change the route number to show that the bus terminates at Heworth and not Concord?
It's just not going to happen. Maybe in the 2015/16 orders, yes, but certainly not in the 2014/15 orders.
Might as well spill the beans...
