Round the back of Roker Park is the only bit of the 18 that gets many passengers - rest are all ad hoc going round the corner or i missed the 16/20'.
4's a bit far away but the 3 potentially could.
Aye it's a fair point, only issue part is Thompson Road which doesn't really have a bus service at all so arguably something has to go there, it's just a matter of what as it's an awkward one which goes in the wrong direction.
Mind if you wanted to scrap the whole thing could extend the 558 through from Whitburn down to Sunderland. Would work I suppose, Seaburn Dene has the 23 and E6 nearby.

It's what happened prior to the pandemic and will continue to happen beyond.
Just on a far greater scale.
Regardless of the operator.
Yeah agreed then they'll moan why no-one uses buses and cut more and the vicious circle continues until there's a bus to Sunderland and/or Newcastle but want to go anywhere else tough luck. It's virtually there already tbh.
