X24 Fawcett St - Pilgrim St is 42 minutes;
Metro Sunderland - Monunent is 29 minutes.
If you're in the north estates or 10/11, why get a Day Rover, get off at John Street/Borough Road and trail through town for a Metro when you can buy a Dayrider Plus for less, get off at Holmeside and walk maybe 20-30 yds at most to the X24 stop?
Unless you're planning on returning after the last X24's left, for a saving of 13 minutes it doesn't seem worth it to me, and if you time it right, there'll only be a couple minutes in it.
Yeah some fair points, the Metro 'should' be more reliable though with no traffic etc and more frequent.
I suppose I could see why some would do it though, but then again I'm someone who used to let the direct bus to Newcastle go by to use one to change at the Metro.
I was going to say surely it's easier to change at St Peter's but just remembered there's no bus stop, good old British lack of integration
