busmanT (one of our GNE insiders) said that the change was to introduce more journeys to the "Sunderland Connect" 701 service (which previously only operated on nights only, from about 7pm). This was required to combat high loadings on "Sunderland Connect" service 700, and is to be operated by a SPD which works a scholar beforehand.
