(23 Jan 2017, 10:39 pm)stagecoachbusdepot wrote Sunderland's PVR is actually reducing by three (six if you discount the new X24) - so would expect up to seven buses to depart.

(26 Jan 2017, 9:29 pm)AIG20 wrote Do you know which ones are VOR?

(27 Jan 2017, 1:20 pm)Michael wrote Nexus are updating the online bus stop timetables:

The City Centre stops in Sunderland are:


X24 will stop at the first stop on Fawcett Street along with the 20 and 33.
X24 will stop at the last bus stop on Holmeside - along with the 3,4,12/13, GNE 20/20A/X20.

(27 Jan 2017, 9:51 pm)Ds1197 wrote More more more with your X34 branded vehicles are having they frequency altered on the buses to reflect the new frequency of every 30 minutes

(27 Jan 2017, 9:52 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Do you know which one it was?, It can give us a clue which one's will be staying/leaving.

(27 Jan 2017, 9:58 pm)Ds1197 wrote 19642 and 19644 are the ones I've seen today

(27 Jan 2017, 10:00 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Cheers, They can ticked off as staying now then.

I personally wouldn't keep 44 like, As it's Mechanically wrecked!

(27 Jan 2017, 10:06 pm)Ds1197 wrote At least this means south shields will probably have 1 spare double decker

(28 Jan 2017, 4:01 pm)ifm001 wrote 19642 still has branding every 20 minutes. I'm on it now reading it.

(28 Jan 2017, 4:47 pm)Ds1197 wrote Have you looked at the back of the bus

(28 Jan 2017, 5:07 pm)ifm001 wrote Yes as I got off. So it is half correct. Every 30 mins at rear and every 20 mins at front

(30 Jan 2017, 4:35 pm)AIG20 wrote Has there been any vehicle transfers yet as a result of the service changes in Sunderland and to South Shields service X34?

In addition, Leyland Olympian 14674 (H674 BNL) has been photographed inside the Tyneside Heritage Vehicles shed, having been sold to a private buyer.
