Not surprised at all.
Carries as much fresh air as the 35a did when that went to Rainton Bridge.

A through route, similar to the 20a may work better, as the service isn't so reliant on customers only heading to Rainton Bridge then.

Wonder if the 35/36 changes are connected?

(31 Mar 2016, 6:09 pm)Michael wrote Will the 38/238 PVR drop?


Deptford will have 2 B10's come free once the 99 goes to.

(31 Mar 2016, 6:22 pm)Andreos1 wrote Looking at the changes for the 38, the PVR will drop. Assuming it keeps the same frequency on the short 38.
The removal of the long 38 will be where the reduction comes from.

The 33 may need an extra vehicle, with it extending to Hendon.
It will be interesting to see if it picks up part of the 99 route.

(31 Mar 2016, 6:29 pm)Michael wrote Not sure if GNE would risk going back in to Pallion/Seaburn again, as its all Stagecoach.

The likes of the 35/36 will pick up passengers from Castletown/Hylton Castle
Downhill - X36

----------
Seems to be loads of route changes for the Sunderland services, wonder if its to do with "North Street West" going 2 ways soon.

(31 Mar 2016, 6:51 pm)Michael wrote When the 35/35A etc changed... maybe a couple of years ago now.

I don't think we will see dramatic changes though, i still think it could be something to do with High Street West... i could be wrong.. as the 2/2A also has a route change and timetable.

(31 Mar 2016, 7:06 pm)Andreos1 wrote After the world famous Park Lane consultation!

I can't see the long 38 nor the 99 not being replaced in part at least.
By that virtue alone, I am sure we will see changes that equate to more than adaptations due to a new road layout.

Sure we will find out in due course.

(31 Mar 2016, 7:17 pm)Michael wrote Haha

Same, many services go along the routes of the long 38 and the 99.

(31 Mar 2016, 7:23 pm)Andreos1 wrote Just looked again.
Even though the 9, 20's and 56 could be affected by a new road layout, they only have timetable changes - so far.

Aye, there is duplication in parts with the 38 and 99, but there are also sections where they are the only services which connect certain areas.
Such as Silksworth - Herrington Burn for the 38.
That section was filled immediately prior, by the 35a (and whatever other combination of letters, on an evening).

The duplicate reference number gives it away.
