The 88/A are not used enough when I use it as far as Hebburn and Lukes Lane so it makes sense splitting it with the busier Jarrow - Shields section and decrease the frequency of the Jarrow - Lukes Lane section to save money and be more reliable.
And to add further no one uses the 88/A from Monkton Lane and hebburn all the way to Shields when they can use the quicker 27, The furthest they will use it will be to Jarrow which is why I split the route theere but the J1 also runs to the Morrisons with the new 88/89 to provide those affected access to Jarrow and Hebburn shopping areas aswell as fast quick connections to other destinations.
