That would make sense then, not ideal for people on the route mind having different operators during the day to an evening and Sunday though. 

The 8/25/81/82 mess really needs sorting out properly. What you do who knows but it really needs to be one or two routes which do the same route all the time. It's really confusing for the average punter imo especially more so that the 8 runs on a Sunday on the full route now, so I'm unsure why the 81 exists at all to Sunderland tbh.
