(13 Oct 2013, 4:53 pm)busmanT The school services are all operated under Contract to Nexus who decide how the trips fit together, so they will need to look at why the 878 is late.
The new depot should be complete before the end of December, but the buses won't move in until the end of January.

Sunderland North consultation is on board buses. Picked it up of SPD 8231.
Basic proposals are:-
The 36/36A to be withdrawn replaced by X36/26.
The 26 is to be increased to every 20 minutes, terminating at Boldon Asda, however from Sunderland Interchange it will extend to Doxford International via Ryhope. 26 will also serve Town End Farm.
The X36 to operate every 30 minutes between Newcastle & Sunderland, via Carley Hill & Witherwack.
The 9 to operate every 15 minutes between Sunderland-Boldon Asda-Jarrow. Extending every 30 minutes as present to North Shields.
The 99 continues unchanged. And new peak time commenters service between Sunderland, Pallion, Hylton Riverside.
It looks as if the short 39's will be replaced by the new 26 and the X3 looks to be withdrawn, should these proposals to ahead.
(14 Oct 2013, 4:35 pm)Daniel So is there just one change from the last North Sunderland consultation - the 26 being extended to Doxford Park? Christ.
Regarding the short 39s - they were always going to be withdrawn when the 39 was upgraded to a 10 minute frequency.

(14 Oct 2013, 4:42 pm)CatsFast101 What do you mean the 10 minute frequency? If the 39 goes to every 10 minutes across route it's effectively only extending the shorts to Pennywell. However I doubt the 39 is going every 10 minutes AND the 26 every 20 minutes. That would give 9 buses per hour between Sunderland Interchange & Doxford International, up by 6 on this time last year I don't think the demand is that great.
If these proposals go through I'm almost certain it'll be the 39 every 20 minutes and the 26 every 20 minutes.
But your right a lot of these changes were basically from the last one.

Due to an incident on Shields Road, service 27 is diverted via Bill Quay towards South Shields. Towards Newcastle via Mill Lane, A194 and Felling By-pass to Heworth.
Also, service X21 and 50 are subject to short notice diversion, due to an incident near Washington Services
