Thorney close, Grindon and Springwell areas unless it’s secured work by the local authority .

Shows how broke the system is though, a loop service on the 39 would be a great way to connect these "Stagecoach" areas like Thorney Close with "GNE" areas like Ryhope, people in Sunderland aren't broken up into different territories so it seems mad that bus services are.
