According to BusTimes it's S1 opposite the Gala Theatre and S2 adjacent to the Gala Theatre, this afternoon both services came up Leazes Road then went up Claypath (side adjacent to the Gala Theatre) but on Monday GuyParkRoyal photographed two buses on the S2 heading down Leazes Road.
I honestly can't make out how the route for this service is supposed to work and I'm not convinced the drivers do either!
Based on the published timetable and the information posted at the bus stands in Claypath I agree with the assumptions that you have made. In the case of my photo of YJ55 YGH, I observered that bus coming from Tesco following the GNE 20 that I was on so in my opinion the photo that I took of YJ55 YGH should have been an S1 (not S2).
The only assumption that I can make is that both buses were running late and the drivers may not have had time to change from S2 to S1. I went up to Tesco to try and get a couple of static photos of the buses changing from S2 to S1 however both buses went past Tesco at speed without stopping so destinations were not changed and in view of the heavy rain I returned to the City Centre.
