Worst and Inconvieniant services in North East and Cumbria - EastGatesheadRider - 30 Jun 2026
Write down if the services are late , terrible times to run and other inconvieniancies
Eg:
935 Sunderland Park Lane - Witherwack Estate VIA City Centre , Chester Road , Pallion , Hylton Retail Park , Hylton Castle Estate and Downhill
What on earth are these runs ! According to google maps from Wiltshire Road Turning Circle the 935 run 5:41 and 6:41 in the morning !
Seriously what !

Some people have to go to work at that time in the morning.

I honestly don't understand how (or why) the 935 has survived so long when the 135/136 went years ago now (and there are parts of the route, such as Thompson Road, which are basically unserved). I presume that Nexus are still funding this? Passenger numbers, from when I was a driver, were fairly low. I recall picking up (and dropping off when it was the 135/136) a member of Nexus staff as a 'regular' from Town End Farm.
If you were going from Witherwack or Redhouse to Sunderland Hospital, surely you would get the 16 anyway?

57A: North Shields to Whitley Bay on Evenings / Sunday
Really don't understand why it exists nowadays when every daytime service in the area runs on an evening anyway. It leads to a bizarre situation where there's more buses from North Shields to Rake Lane at 11pm (3 BPH) than during the day (2 BPH) and I believe Nexus is funding the whole 3 BPH aswell (317 Evenings)
