However I doubt the 39 is going every 10 minutes AND the 26 every 20 minutes. That would give 9 buses per hour between Sunderland Interchange & Doxford International, up by 6 on this time last year I don't think the demand is that great.
If these proposals go through I'm almost certain it'll be the 39 every 20 minutes and the 26 every 20 minutes.
But your right a lot of these changes were basically from the last one.
It looks like the 39 will be only between Pennywell and the town - which probables won't happen - due to lost link's etc so by me it looks like:
9 - Current route - Jarrow Every 15 mins then to North shields - every 30 mins.
26 - Doxford Park - City Centre - Southwick - Castletown - Hylton Castle - Town End Farm - boldon Asda - Every 20 mins
X36 - Sunderland - Southwick - Carley Hill - Witherwack - Boldn ASDA - Heworth - Gateshead - Newcastle - every 30 mins
39 - Pennywell - City Centre - Every 20 mins
99 - Same route/times
33 - (random number) - Sunderland, Pallion, Hylton Riverside - peak times only.
