(Yesterday, 10:38 pm)ALavery wrote I love how the 61 reverse is portrayed as “regrettable” the regrettable bit is still keeping it on a Sunday! Revert it back to its old route and have the 62 run on a Sunday what actually is the difference?

Loss of the cross Sunderland links I'd guess. It's gone down from 8 buses an hour to 2 buses an hour in the space of a couple years.

Chester Road has gone down from 10 buses an hour to 7 buses an hour aswell, with now, no form of any timetable interworking and not even serving the same bus stops in the centre either. Those electric vehicles with Stagecoach are no doubt looking very attractive to people down there nowadays...

imo the 62 is a route which could be in trouble soon as it has little purpose now, bar minor links to places people questionably don't want to be with the Stagecoach 13, 16 and 20 being much superior for doing the city centre links at both ends of the route and are all substantially more frequent aswell since the last round of cuts.
