There is plenty choice between Sunderland and Grangetown, Sunderland & Southwick and Seaburn & Sunderland too.
No idea how long the route has been going, but guessing it must have existed in some form when the pit and ship yards were still big employers and the big factories were about in the Grangetown areas.
Obviously they have gone now and if the service isn't carrying that many passengers as you say, there needs to be something done.
I think the only massive change was year's ago when they changed so the 18/19 follow the same route around Grindon
Other than that i think its being the same for years.. so it must be working somewhere along the route to make profit
