I was wondering about sending the 8 via Great Lumley, Fence Houses, Houghton, Stoneygate, A19, Hasting Hills then as 78. Buzzfare boundaries mean that people need a 3 zone to go Chester/Stanley on the 8, but only a 2 zone on the 78.
Other ideas I've had about putting the 71 to Seaham. Maybe to Dalton park too.
I think the 8 in Washington does two jobs - it gives Waterview Park a fast link to Washington and Sunderland and it maintains the link to the Galleries and Chester with the villages in southern Washington that were lost when the 179 and 180 (and 50 was diverted via mway) went.
