05 Mar 2018 to 09 May 2018
We have been informed by Sunderland Council and Nexus that from Sunday 22 April to Friday 4 May 2018, between 20:00 and 06:00 each night, the Southbound section of the A19 (A1290 to A1231) will be closed for essential resurfacing works to take place.
Due to the closure of the A19, the final service X24 each day may have to divert and follow one of the alternative registered routes to Sunderland.
Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience, delays or disruptions these works may cause and thank passengers for their patience and understanding.
What are these "alternative registered routes to Sunderland".

Service X24 - Special daytime timetable, every 30 minutes. From Sunderland between 1007 and 1637, and from Newcastle between 1055 and 1725.
Service X34 - Special daytime service, every 30 minutes. From Harton Nook between 1014 and 1614, and from Newcastle between 1110 and 1710.

I've long found it surprising that the X34 in particular doesn't have a Sunday service at all given how busy it can get.

Anyone know what the time changes are?

(12 Apr 2018, 7:09 am)Michael wrote Driver on the 18 mentioned the 18 could be changing in June/July to go over the new bridge, then through the enterprise park then back on to its current route at Queen Alex Bridge towards Southwick.
Just driver talk but thought i would share.

A fair amount of pensioners use the 18 service to get to the Gala Bingo, near Queen Alexandra Bridge. Some of them would be able to catch the 11 as an alternative, but not all. Seems like they're not all that bothered, though, as Hylton Estate (near the Sunderland Crematorium and Round Robin), where again there a number of elderly residents, is still without a bus service since the 8 was re-routed.
