UPDATE: Following discussions with stakeholders, extra journeys will continue to run on these sections of routes:
Services will continue to operate on Tunstall Bank Estate in Sunderland, with service 938 running approximately hourly between 8am and 6pm
Services will be continuing to operate between Barley Mow, Portmeads and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead, with service 925 running approximately hourly between 8am and 6pm
Services will continue to operate between Hebburn and South Tyneside General Hospital, with service H2 running approximately hourly between 7.30am and 4.30pm
At this point the service changes almost seem like a pointless exercise if they're simply going to restore the links through these nondescript replacements. I wonder if they're only temporary until the coronavirus issue is over or are they permanent? If it's the latter I doubt it'll be long before they're withdrawn following in the footsteps of services of a similar ilk like the H1 and 197.
