I think the 37 should go back to Sunderland:

37 - Sunderland - Barnes Park - Silksworth - Doxford Shops/International - Herrington Burn – Washington – Concord – Coach Road Estate - Concord – Waterview Park – Enterprise Park – Sunderland - Hourly

37A - Other way

Each will take 100 minutes on a hourly bases with a PVR of 4.

Monday - Saturday Service only.

The 37 should be axed imo. I don't know how Nexus can justify paying for the service. 

How many commercial services are doing sections of this route already? Sunderland - Barnes - Silksworth - Doxford, has god knows how many buses per hour. Sunderland - Herrington burn has at least 6. Sunderland to Concord has the 56, and Sunderland to Washington (via the Enterprise Park) has the 8.

Perhaps the better option would be to fund a diversion of the 8 to go via Teal Farm? It was their residents association who keep pushing for the changes to this route, yet don't seem to bother using it.
