Don't agree with that one mind with the 78. The 78 is about connecting CLS and beyond to Sunderland, quite a few people do it especially on match days; not sure they'll appreciate a detour around the streets of Houghton on the way. Also the 71 goes in via Brinkburn Cresecent so would doubling back on itself.
