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.
Got an email back -
Good afternoon,
The current 238 service between Sunderland and Houghton is being extended to incorporate the service through to Barnwell, so no there will not be two 238 services. I hope that clarifies this for you.
-----------------------
It also looks like anything will be used during the day as it looks like the PVR will be 3 for Monday- Saturday day times - going by current routes and timings, as not sure how often it will go along South Street in Newbottle. - MPD's during the day? or Nexus Solo SR's with one being moved to Deptford, although this seems very unlikely........
Sundays - Not sure on route atm, will be Sunderland - then 238 Barnwell - Hall Lane (1822, 1922, 2022)
239 Barnwell - Fencehouses (2122, 2222, 2322)
- Nexus Solo SR/s with Deptford running it?
