On a Sunday at one point, it used to go via Grindon Lane, Somerset Road and Springwell Road in Sunderland, instead of straight down Chester Road too, so that added more stops on.


I'm not sure when that diversion started or ended.

It didn't extend all the way to Ryton or Crawcrook on evenings or Sundays.
So what it gained, it definitely lost. 

Possibly unique in that it was operated by 3 depots across a day though. 
Sunderland and Winlaton during the day. 
Washington on an evening and Sunday.
