So what were the reason for binning it?

Money (I expect)?

I think the proposals was just before the last election under labour, until conservatives got into government and told the council to cut back on plans, under labour a lot of plans were given the green light, but when conservatives got in there abolished a lot of funding for small and big projects

12m does seem rather expensive for a project of that size.

I think it was an alternative to the proposed Sunderland congestion charge that the council thinking of bringing in before 2021, as there wanted public transport more accessed and quicker route to the city centre as Chester Road is like a bottle neck and getting worse year after year.
