We're making changes to some of our Sunderland services from Sunday 25 January 2026
A summary of the changes is detailed below:-
Service 8: So as to improve reliability, there are some minor timetable changes to Monday to Friday morning trips before 9am, with these journeys operating slightly earlier. All other trips continue unchanged.
Service 10 and 11: So as to better match service frequency with prevailing customer demands, services 10 & 11 are revised to operate every 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes, offering a frequency of a bus every 15 minutes on combined sections of route.
Following customer feedback from consultations and in order to provide a regular, reliable evenly-spaced frequency of service between St Lukes, Ford and Pennywell, service 10 and service 11 trips will both operate a clockwise loop when heading from Grangetown and Sunderland City Centre towards Pennywell operating to Pallion Road as before then via Fordfield Road, the full length of St Lukes Road, Meldon Road, Merle Terrace, St Lukes Terrace, returning back to Sunderland City Centre and towards Grangetown via Pallion Road as before.
Owing to frequent instances of inconsiderate parking and difficulty in allowing buses to traverse this area safely, services will no longer operate along Midmoor Road and operate along the nearby St. Lukes Road instead.
Customers are able to board and alight at any part of this route to continue their journey.
All other services remain unchanged.
