The 18A evening service was a tender that stagecoach won as a replacement for the then 88/88A which fir a short period of time operated daytimes only. Coincidentally at the same time that SNE operated 18A to Jarrow, GNE won the daily evening service X20 Fellgate to South Shields and uses Laser liveried citaros on it.
Feel free to move all of this to the bygone era if need be.
I remember the Citaros on the X20, Was pretty short lived though like the 18A.
Correct me if I'm wrong, But evening and Sunday's X20s are still tendered, But were awarded to Stagecoach.
