first time the 8/78 have been split up on branded

The thing is they used to have a common section through Pelton which kind of made sense them being together and they took the same time from CLS to Stanley every 15 minutes. Now they've been split it's literally 2 different routes. They don't even serve the same bus stop in Chester Le Street in either direction.

It just causes confusion to people. You need to catch the Country Ranger bus but not the 78, you have to get the 8.

The 8 should be branded under the Washington network as it's pretty much the purpose of the route. Anyone catching the 8 to Sunderland is just stupid from Chester Le Street or beyond considering they leave at the same time and it's 15 minutes longer.
