To me the laser is very confusing with it having 4 different letters... 35/35A during the day
35B/35C - evenings and Sundays...
Not sure why they just didn't stick with the 35/35A!
Anyway, the laser seems to be working since last changes or GNE would of changed them..
Was sure I replied to this earlier - obviously not!
The 35a seems to carry fewer passengers (out of peaks) between Houghton/Rainton Bridge and from Houghton in the other direction, since the last change.
Although missing several stops from Rainton Bridge towards Houghton may help with reliability, it isn't doesn't help with passenger numbers.
The fact it is one of the longer journeys between Houghton and Sunderland, doesn't help its case either.
