Good morning Mr Webster,
Thank you for your email. From the 31st May 2015 the Go North East 238/239 will operate the service between Hall Lane Estate and Barnwell on a commercial basis on a Monday – Saturday daytime, with Nexus securing the evening and Sunday service, as well as a couple of early morning trips.
The route will be altered in Hall Lane Estate and some trips will also serve South Street in Newbottle.
Information will be available on the Nexus website nearer the date of the change of service.
Regards

Iv'e emailed back and asked if the 238 route will continue to Sunderland, as this is confusing for the passengers in Hall Estate by having 2 bus numbers the same.
The Newbottle extension is an interesting one.
A lot of people have been complaining about the lack of a bus for a long time.
The plans put forward by the council to block off Stoneygate junction is causing consternation too - as this will remove the possibility of a through route, completely.
