Originally when northern had the service it used to start from Horden area, I wonder if the service was originally set up as a miners service at the start.

Newcastle Rd and Boldon was served by the service 130 then quite a few years later came the introduction of the 131 serving Boldon Bank Top and Downhill between Newcastle and Sunderland
The Sunderland to Newcastle 130 was originally the 230 Newcastle-Sunderland-Hartlepool-Middlesbrough many decades ago, the service got cut and United took the Sunderland to Middlesbrough section (don’t know when the Hartlepool to Middlesbrough got cut), the Sunderland to Newcastle went to northern and eventually renumbered 130
