Just checked last weeks fleet allocation and they still got:
Route 9 as a Tab - Now doesn't exist
8258/8259 is still drifter branded
4960 is still Metrolink branded
Anything else im missing?
What roadworks in Sunderland? What services will this affect? Is it an diversion?
Holmeside is closed in one direction. Stagecoach in Sunderland are diverting their services via the Stockton Road/Burdon Road loop (see article here), but I've not been in town yet to see if GNE are diverting too..? It certainly affected GNE yesterday, when services operated via the Empire/St. Mary's Way as opposed to serving Holmeside/Fawcett Street.
The Wearmouth Bridge is also down to 2 lanes instead of 3 for Work, seems they doing it all during the 6 weeks, which is a good in a way.
