(15 Apr 2017, 7:02 am)Dan A half-hourly service being maintained during the day into the night and on Sundays seems excessive to me, South Hylton - City Centre.

(15 Apr 2017, 7:53 am)Michael It does, the Sunday hourly service on the 8, isn't even busy, the money providing the 8X could be used else where.

(18 Apr 2017, 4:24 pm)BJ10VUS I'm not familiar with the South Hylton area, but does the 8 even cover a lot of the route the 8X covers within South Hylton? The 8 doesn't serve The Golden Lion by the looks of it.

(18 Apr 2017, 4:52 pm)Dan I just don't think the demand is there for another service to South Hylton from the City Centre.

(18 Apr 2017, 5:13 pm)BJ10VUS Thank you for that in-depth response, and I agree that the demand most likely isn't there, especially if the service doesn't get contracted to Stagecoach. Surely just running either the 8 as it is, or the 8X between South Hylton and Sunderland Docks would suffice.

(21 May 2017, 5:39 pm)Dan I hadn't quite appreciated how much of an impact Stagecoach's introduction of an evening and Sunday service to South Hylton would have on the 8X service, either.
I went to South Hylton today and observed two inbound and outbound trips on the 8X - both were completely empty, with no passengers on-board at all. The one person I did see boarding a bus, was getting on the 8 service to the City Centre. That single passenger would have potentially used the 8X service historically, depending on where she was travelling to.
A better photo of the 8X below following my previous shoddy attempts a few years ago - although showing route number X8!

(21 May 2017, 5:45 pm)Michael Wouldn't be surprised if the 8X is withdrawn, would seem better from a NEXUS point of view... i mean you can't even use the smartzone pass on it, so no the wonder it's not getting used!

Some fleet updates which took place a while back.
YX06 CTV has arrived in the fleet and is a reserve in the fleet for when YX09 EUD is off.
YJ08 PKU has left the fleet having been replaced by YX06 CTV.
SF56 DNY has reportedly been scrapped due to faults.
Compass are reportedly looking to get a newer fleet bus although that's all I know.
Fleet clear up thanks to driver for the information.
MX06 CPZ - Left the fleet
NX54 BXY and a few other Iveco minibuses have left the fleet.
YX06 CTV has now been entered into the reserve fleet for when YX09 EUD is off.
MX06 CTY remains in the fleet and was allocated to the 939 a few weeks ago.
S101 KNR has remained in the fleet and has not made an appearence in service YET.
The new bus is apparently on order still, starting to think they may loose there service in 2018 with service tenders.
