Is there the possibility of some sort of outstation in the Sunderland area like GNE have at Crook, Consett or Peterlee?
26A is no longer an Arriva Contract (GNE now have it).
They only have M2/M3, and Washington to Belmont is not that far. Similar to GNE running light to South Shields from Gateshead (Metro Centre from 2014).
