I'm sure there's a few but I can't really see why anyone would want to use it end to end when the Metro is much much quicker and I don't believe Stagecoach Sunderland Day Tickets are valid if I'm right?
Ive had a bus with 37 pax on leaving sunderland and by the time its got to hastings hill 8 are left on the bus to go to Newcastle/Gateshead and its 9 minutes late with traffic at the broadway etc, thats whats killing the service its an express service with out the express experience along chester road, and its only going to get worse over the next few months with the demolition of the flyover in gateshead between the drivers we have worked out roughly a 20/25 minute delay to each service during the peak with the diversions or sitting on the felling bypass.
