20 - South Shields -> Sunderland -> Houghton Le Spring -> Dene Gardens -> Middle Rainton -> A690 -> Carrville -> Gilesgate -> Durham (Every 20 Mins)
20A - South Shields -> Sunderland -> Doxford Park -> Houghton Le Spring -> Rainton Arena -> Middle Rainton -> Leamside -> Carrville -> A690 -> Durham (Every 20 Mins)
65 - Extended to Langley Park (Every 30 Mins)
35 - Evening route missing Rainton Arena (Every 30 Mins)
55 - Withdrawn (Nothing unique and alternatives exist with the X1, 62, 35 and 20/20A)
The PVR should be about the same and the 20/20A will be slightly quicker than it is now for most people with a better frequency on the South Shields ends (or you could drop it down to 20 minutes if it's not needed).
