PVR increase on the 39 short workings between Doxford Interntional and Sunderland Interchange are been introduced, this creates an every 10 minute frequency on service 39 between these points. I wonder wether they'll inherit some of the MPD's from Washinton Street Shuttle when they get the Versa's or could they be upgraded to solars from 56 if they get new buses.
The short workings are Monday-Friday only meaning it'll not be every 10 minute service on Saturday. It seems like a commuter service with it only been Monday-Friday, but I'm not convinced this will work very well it's quite a round about route compared to the X35 to Doxford International, but then there is people from South Sunderland to factor in. But X35 have just cut down on the amount of peak-time Sunderland-Dox Int. they run in the most recent 24/3/13 changes. So how are the loadings on the 39? I think it's strange to have a service which currently uses significantly smaller buses increased to every 10 minutes.
