I heard from a person who was chatting to a driver last week that City have bought new buses for the route and "were on the ferry as we speak, but don't tell anyone" I am hesitant to believe such a claim as where does a small and fairly new independent get such money from, why would it be a secret and why would they go to the effort of branding 3 buses for the Sunderland Connect (PVR = 3) contract.
