Don't believe the 811 ever existed under Hunters but I could be wrong.
They got merged with the 442 when the takeover happened though, with them being merged together.
https://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/...er1981.pdf - Can see the old routes here, the 410/411, happy to be corrected, used to run by the A192 out of Seaton Delaval I believe.
Ignoring having to change buses at Four Lane Ends, which I don't mind. It's amazing how dreadful the service is nowadays.
810 was Cramlington to North Shields via High Pit, Seaton Delaval and Whitley Bay. The 811 was Cramlington to North Shields also, but instead of High Pit it ran past Cramlington High School.
Both were running from the Seaton Delaval garage until the business was sold. Unsure if it was sold to British Bus or Proudmutual (the holding company for Northumbria), before they were swallowed up by British Bus.
