Can't help but think that is would be slightly more attractive with a decent reliable bus with features on and a quicker journey time that the service may work better. Perhaps an X36 that is quicker and 36 that takes the current route? I know the 36 exists but was merely an example.
It would win my custom even though the metro is cheaper.
I think the original usp of the X36 was direct links from the estates in the North of Sunderland to Newcastle city centre.
