Passenger numbers on the 39 hadn't recovered as expected post-covid and in turn the buses were required due to the impending Newcastle Emission Zone, from my own personal observations a Solo is more than justified probably with the exception of peak journey in/out of Doxford International.
Hopefully with the changes on Sunday there will be some further growth with a journey each to Houghton-Le-Spring and Washington Galleries.
