Sunderland Hospital - loads of services
Castletown - 8 (GNE), 73 (GCT) 99 stagecoach
Hylton Castle - 3 (SC), 99 (SC)
Town End Farm - 12, 13 (SC)
Only section is the Town End Farm to Boldon - unless you go to the town for the 9.
Stagecoach in Sunderland seemed to be (according to bustimes) having their own problems today mind. The 20 (SNE) was all over the place.
You missed the Herrington's though which don't have a bus service at all which used to be every 10 minutes at one point. The thing I don't get though is why the 39 is running nearly a full timetable with minibuses running every 15 minutes when the whole route is covered by other services in particular the 2 yet services like the 35 are having massive gaps.
What happens when you rely on overtime and there's a football match on, it's the same every home game, depots depending on who's playing.
