With common sections been simply the main locations Stanley Bus Station - Chester Front Street - Sunderland Interchange. I wonder if they plan to keep both branded as 'lime'?
I do like the fact there making changes to an established service. I'm surprised the peak time X36's remain despite, the 8 operating the same route? Unless the idea is, that the peak time X36's will replace the 8's when certain journeys operate as 8A?
Great news the 4 is extended on evenings. Wonder if the compass/nexus 79 will be withdrawn then? On evenings anyways.
Few cut backs on Saturday mornings it seems. The renumbering of the former WSS services seems sensible, simple numbering is easier.
If you're in Park Lane at circa 0815, look out for the short X36 working... I see it most mornings, and you often see every single seat filled with a lot of standees too.
Often thought that the loadings needed to be evened out slightly, so it'll be good if an 8 runs the same way just at a slightly different time.
