I do kind of think there should be 4 BPH between South Shields and the beach though, what route it is that does that, then who knows hence the E suggestion. I do agree that Whitburn would be stupidly overbussed though.Pre 1986, Sunderland to Pennywell was the 120 and upon deregulation became Sunderland Busways service 20. Go ahead Northern Sunderland to Durham service stayed as the 220 for a good few years after deregulation, until they renumbered it to service 20. However, it would be sensible to return to unique numbering at some point in the future.
Mind if they did that 19/20 I wish they'd number it the 6 and 7 or something instead. Confusing as hell having 2, 20's in the same city which serve the same streets and the GNE 20 is more known than the SNE one. Similar argument with the 8 aswell which literally serve the same bus stops (SNE 8 and GNE 8A)
