It was definitely every 15 minutes in 2015 though here's the timetable - https://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/bygone/...250115.pdf
Its crazy to think Dalton park was stopped getting served after 5-8pm. 

Yeah I know it was every 15 then it went upto 20. Must of been wrong.

In fairness it was shut back then. Cinema opened after then I believe and Dalton Park shut at 6pm from what I can remember.

Those contracts should be awarded on Tuesday, so hopefully we'll find out more.


Interested to see if there's any changes to the 99/135/136 - 3 of the most pointless services in Sunderland - I know the 135/136 has been out for tender again - but I wonder if they'll be any changes?
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Don't believe there will be anything as it's all been delayed because of them getting extra funding until whenever the tenders end. It's a short tender until November I believe - https://bidstats.uk/tenders/2022/W11/770703651

Looks like they'll still be rewarded but only for 6 months..... seems pointless bidding for such a short contract.


"It is anticipated that subsequent contracts will be for a term of up to 6 months."

Edit: was looking through and it says they've been rewarded for the May tenders............ but I can't bloody link it because I've hit my daily free limit!
