Hopefully the bridge isn't too narrow otherwise the timings don;t work at all.

I remember it going in to the Racecourse Estate and ending up on Saltwell Road/Belle Vue Bank and on to the QE. But can't remember if it doubled back on itself or continued through the hospital grounds. There may be a timetable in the bygone section.

(14 Apr 2022, 6:16 pm)Storx They should build a railway station there imo. Just a shame there's a capacity problems so they can't. Be quite popular imo with Bensham / Saltwell on one side and Team Valley on the other side for commuters.Think it'd need to be near Low Fell RMT. Might work, even if peak only:

(14 Apr 2022, 6:09 pm)ASX_Terranova The M29 didnt serve Racecourse Estate, it was the 29 (North Rider Transport) and it doubled back on itself.It might have been the M32. Just double checked. That was the number not the M29 that I thought initially.

I think the M32 came back in a revised form late 90s. But that omitted the Racecourse Estate completely.

A new link would be handy from Doxford park Morrisons via the new ryhope to Doxford park link road being built at present down to hopewood park hospital Seaham harbour and park side then perhaps up to Dalton park. Perhaps either a 40 or 63 for the route number

Perhaps either a 40 or 63 for the route numberYou could just start it at Sunderland, and terminate it at Dalton Park or extend the 62 to parkisde with the 63.

(15 Apr 2022, 9:47 pm)Acky81 I’ve already suggested it to go north east previous but fell on deaf ears. New links for Doxford park and ryhope to Seaham front parkside and Dalton parkOr Just Drifter Connect. I always thought the 61/62 should be Drifter something. I think what Malarky (if I spelt it right) had loads of amazing suggestions to reform routes but they are going to fall on deaf ears)
Sunderland and district orange ?
