I had a quick look on bustimes and it looks like it's came out of the depot late. Flagged on St Michaels Way at 05:02 and out of the Bus Station at 05:10, but it was 05:23 by the time it left Fawcett St, which I'm assuming is down to passenger loading.
What on earth was going on at that time in the morning? I know there's a Northern Rail strike today, but the Metro is still running a limited timetable from Sunderland, so I wouldn't have thought it would have a knock on impact to the 56.
Could be factories? The 4am 56 we used to do on night shift used to be pretty busy with people going to work 7 days a week, even though it was withdrawn "due to low passenger numbers".
