From memory think it only stopped at Wheatsheaf, The Grange Fulwell, Cleadon Pond, Harton Nook, Westoe and Shields Keppel St. Used it a few times and was a good fast alternative to the all stops 535/536
Just checked the timetable out in The Bygone Era and it didn't go in to Park Lane TO Seaburn. But did on the return. Used it many times, but can't remember the specifics about it's route in Sunderland City Centre.
Off memory, pretty sure it went a few years prior to the 2006 changes though.
