Seems a odd mood, when the 8 also goes that way....
Would improve reliability on the 36 and offer a faster service into Sunderland from Castletown than what is currently in place.
However I do think it would probably be better to divert the 8 through Castletown before joining the Enterprise Park at the retail bit and then continuing the route into Sunderland adding a few minutes to the service in the process. It would also reinstate an old GNE link from Castletown to Washington.
The latter side of the route I think should be merged into the 33's from Sunderland through to Silksworth then onto Houghton.
