Info for the airshow has being posted on the stagecoach site..
On Saturday 27 July & Sunday 28 July 2013 special Service 510 will run every few minutes to the Airshow.
Last Updated : 5 July 2013 12:16
Due to road closures and the level of traffic congestion experienced in previous years, bus services in the Seaburn area will be revised between approximately 1030 – 1830 on Airshow days. Some buses will also be diverted in the Seaburn and Roker areas on Friday 26 July due to other road closures.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Friday 26 July 2013, from approx 1400, Whitburn Road and Roker Terrace on Sunderland Seafront will be closed to facilitate events associated with the Sunderland Airshow.
As a result of this road closure, Services E1, 18 and 19 will have no option but to divert via Fulwell Road, Roker Baths Road, Roker Park Road, Park Avenue, Sea Lane and Seaburn Terrace. As a consequence, buses will not be able to serve Roker Avenue, Harbour View, Roker Terrace, Park Parade or Whitburn Road (south of the Seaburn Hotel roundabout). Diverted buses will observe all stops along the line of the diversionary route. In the event of the Sea Front closing before 1400, these arrangements will start when the road closes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Saturday 27 July & Sunday 28 July 2013, special Service 510 will operate every few minutes during the day, providing a frequent and direct service between Sunderland City Centre (Fawcett Street), Wheatsheaf, Stadium of Light Metro, Seaburn Metro and Sunderland Airshow (Recreation Ground).

Due to road closures and the level of traffic congestion encountered in previous years, bus services in the Seaburn area will be revised as follows on Saturday 27 July & Sunday 28 July 2013 between approximately 1030 – 1830:
Services E1, E2, E6 South Shields – Sunderland: Between 1030 and 1800, Services E1 and E6 will operate between South Shields Market and Seaburn Camp (Whitburn Bents Road) only. During these times, Service E2 will operate via normal route from South Shields to Whitburn and then run via Front Street, Moor Lane, Sunderland Road, Shields Road and Newcastle Road. Please note, during the affected times northbound Service E2 buses will observe the bus stop outside Fulwell Grange Hotel on Newcastle Road, not the bus stop on Charlton Road.
Buses will operate to normal times on the sections of route which continue to be served. On Sunday 28 July 2013, there will also be an increased daytime timetable, with Services E1, E2 and E6 all operating every 20 minutes.
Additionally, on both dates, to avoid difficulties caused by indiscriminate car parking, Service E6 will not serve the southern section of Lizard Lane but will operate instead via Kitchener Road and the A183 (Coast Road, Mill Lane and East Street).

Whilst we will endeavour to minimise any disruption, Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience this event may cause, which is due to circumstances beyond our control.
I have to i wish stagecoach would run the 18/19 on the Sunday for the airshow, they would make good money on these!
