According to the Shields Gazette and Sunderland Echo, Stagecoach will be putting extra buses on the X24 and X34 tomorrow and Saturday due to the Metro strikes.

I assume they will have two busses running together every half hour? I'm sure this used to happen quite a lot on the X34 when a decker was unavailable.
