There's also a bit of an irony about the revised 26 serving almost every bit of Northern's 'traditional' Sunderland territory apart from the bit (City to Pennywell) that it originally served.
Ah right =), I like the 26 idea, it just replaces the short 39's (Park Lane to Doxford Park) - Wonder if the new proposed X36 could get branded?
Never thought about how Stagecoach would react, don't think they would launch a new bus route, more of a diversion for a service around that area, like they did with the 16 when it started to serve Witherwack to replace the 7.
