4964/65 - 1 of them will probley's be used on the 56 while 1 goes and get's repainted.
Possibly, yeah! - The X3 was always a pointless service. Sadly, passengers mainly used the Metro. It was generally only busy from Boldon ASDA to Sunderland! This X36 is fantastic though! Passenger numbers are always high, the service is very reliable too!
They also seem to have been successful taking passengers off the X34! - There were a load of passengers getting on at Boldon ASDA heading towards Newcastle which is good! - When I was travelling through Southwick, a few used it from there to Boldon ASDA too! Hopefully, the service will get a upgrade!
