I think the 31/32 then had a small run with the Omnicity ToonLink before it changed to the X30/X31


As for the previous post mentioning the Blaydon Racers. That had a lot more routes linked to it when it was allocated with the Super Pointers. 
That phase of Blaydon Racers had the Old 10, 11, 31, 32, 48, 49, 49A

Yeah the Black Cats brand (Red 2017 edition) was a mess.

It felt that whatever was not branded in Sunderland at that time became Black Cat branded. 2, 2A, 33, 33A, 35, 35A, 39, 238, 516 (South Shields).
4 Different Vehicle types also for that network. The Daimler Streetlites, Scania Solars, Optare Solo and Solo SRs.


The much earlier edition of Black Cats wasnt as bad. 26, 26A, 36A, 36C. That Dennis Dart version of the brand had its small Nexus "takeover" when they put the Nexus Logo over the Black Cats logo so it could work for the 516 in South Shields

And the 41 and 42, that would of been round about the mid 2000's, not sure if it was Blaydon Racers by that point, i just remember it being a Yellow long variant of the Dart (like the 53/54)
