(Today, 6:04 am)EastGatesheadRider wrote My cousin was a bus driver and he said that the 23 from Thorney Close-Dene Estate also had a doppelganger route numbered 24 , also beetween Thorney Close and Dene Estate so one must've been taken more and the other must've been less used untill the 24 got withdrawn.

Heard a Friend say that "The West Monkseaton Metro Sshould be renamed to South Wellfield Metro because South Wellfield Is closer"

24 was Thorney Close to Seaburn and omitted Dene Estate 

They then withdrew the 24 and extended 23 from Dene Estate to Seaburn

Not much difference otherwise
