Regarding the 20/20A and 65, I think this is nothing short of speculation at this stage. There have been no internal communications about this, so feels like rumour.

Yeah that's fair had a feeling they might have been rumours and nothing more. I'll be very surprised if the 12 ever gets back up though.

In fairness it's a problem everywhere, loop services just don't do well as the vast majority of people just don't want to travel between nowhere and nowhere. It's not unique to Sunderland where every route heads to the centre.

Newcastle is particularly bad as it's nigh on impossible to get to Kingston Park and/or Metro Centre without doubling back on yourself via Newcastle in the West End unless you happen to live on the 6/7 which run to the far extremes of the city and even that hourly in the case of Kingston Park (which are a waste of time).
