The solos struggled and deckers still struggle daily - it's just an awfully designed corner of a junction into a one way system, on one of Sunderlands busiest roads.
I was once on a 702 as a Streetlite and that involved a bit of reversing to Manover.
Saying that coming off Chester Road after the Uni (towards City Hall) can also be awfully tight for the deckers.
I remember the days when Jolly buses used St Mark’s Road! Showing my age
