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.
Thanks for that, was curious how the 20 came in with Stagecoach as their Sunderland services are generally lower numbers, excluding that and the 23. Definitely need some tidying up of duplicates though in the same area as it's confusing as an understatement for people who aren't used to buses, especially when they serve the same bus stop.
