Don't forget that Washington covers the Langley Park section of the X20 on a Sunday so the drivers will already know the route.
A full round trip from South Shields to Langley Park and return will take 5 hours, so 10 buses will be needed.

I've heard from a very reliable source that the 14 will be interworking with the 50, both of which will be operated by Washington, with Washington losing the 8 to Deptford.
