The E1/E2/E6 are vastly different routes - they have common sections in which they provide a good combined frequency but in the main there are a lot of unique sections too, so in the main it is a half-hourly service to most customers.

They go much closer to the Stadium of Light than the 78. To answer my own question, Stagecoach are running a fleet of single-decks on these services today, with no double-decks allocated. I’d imagine these services, running less frequently than normal, are more likely to carry customers heading to the match than the 78.
