Is the main aim for students getting them between the two different sites (as well as some of the halls of residence) or is more of a general public service? Will the university continue financially supporting the service?

I agree with the comments above about links from Roker and Seaburn to the hospital (and to some extent, the new eye hospital). The infrastructure is already in place so if the university does close/move then keeping the links over the North Side of the river for whatever gets developed on the site would be a good idea? Let's not forget the stops that got installed near the National Glass Centre too for the short lived 702 (although when I was at GNE, I never picked anyone up there).

They’ve only relatively recently completed it, haven’t they? The first building was only opened about 30 years ago, so it would seem odd if they abandoned it in favour of their older, probably RAAC and asbestos filled buildings.
