Old old 9 Boldon ASDA (or somewhere like that) Jarrow-Murton
Old 9 Sunderland Park Lane-North Shields Transport Hub
Normal 9 Sunderland Park Lane-Jarrow
What if we could make a 9A Sunderland Park Lane-Jarrow
9B Jarrow or Boldon ASDA-Murton Cenothaph
All ran by GNE but late night journeys on 9B are Northstar and early morning journeys are operated by GCT
9A operated by GNE all day
(30 Jan 2026, 8:57 pm)Malarkey wrote 6/6A - Stanley - Newcastle via Tanfield Lea, Burnopfield, Sunniside, Fellside Park, Whickham and Metrocentre
Service curtailed at Stanley, new 6A introduced with services merged with 643/644, would still serve MetroCentre Asda on route to Whickham. Also had a thought of potentially interworking these with the 8 Stanley-Sunderland but I am not sure it would work.
X30 - Lanchester - Burnhope, South Moor, Stanley, East Stanley, Sunniside, Whickham and Dunston
Replaces the 6 in extending to Lanchester.
X31 - Durham - Newcastle via Sacriston, Graghead, South Moor, Stanley, East Stanley, Sunniside, Whickham and Dunston
Merged with 16A at Stanley.
X32 - Durham - Newcastle via Sacriston, Graghead, South Moor, Stanley. East Stanley, Sunniside, Lobley Hill and Gateshead
Merged with 16A at Stanley.
Existing frequencies on all above services would be maintained.
Heard a couple days ago service 644 has been withdrawn due to very low ridership
