Sunderland as a city centre, is certainly not what it once used to be. Go North East and Stagecoach both appear to have made PVR reductions on their Sunderland routes, and I fear that's matching the general direction of the city centre footfall.
Have to agree here, based on the previous X20 attempts. I did the Pronto X20 a few times and it didn't seem to get up to much, all it seemed to do was just take the passengers who would have just got on the 20 behind if the X20 didn't turn up, seemed to be very little through through traffic beyond Durham to/from Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland.
