I remember the George Bell 125 and 17, they ran quite a peculiar route via Gilley Law and Silksworth. Don't think it even lasted a year before it was re-routed and renumbered 25.

Also didn't Favourite run an 8 with the 9 and 9A?

Yea, George Bell went via plains farm while the Busways went via Springwell and thornley close, that’s how the 5 started off from doxford park to Boldon, I wonder if George Bell never put on service 125 then the 5 would of ever existed, yea when jolly bus came off, Busways put the 8/9/9a on, I think Busways only bought the bus service routes and not the buses or depot, as George Bell used the old jolly depot and also Welco used the depot aswell with bus service W20 and W21 between South Hylton and Sunderland
