We will be making the following changes to services around Sunderland from 11th November 2012:
Service 35 will continue to operate every 10 minutes Monday-Saturday daytimes, all the way through to South Shields. Every 20 minutes the service will operate as service 35 via the Royal Hospital to Low Moorsley, replacing services X36 and X37. It will also operate every 20 minutes as service 35A via Silksworth omitting the Royal Hospital to provide faster journey times to the City Centre.
Service 20 will continue to operate every 10 minutes between Durham and Sunderland only. Every 20 minutes the service will operate on its current route, and every 20 minutes as service 20A via Rainton Bridge.
Service X20 will operate at peak times only as proposed.
Service 71 will operate only between Chester-le-Street and Houghton-le-Spring as proposed. Passengers on Tunstall Road will be able to use the improved service 38 (see below).
Following the concerns raised in this consultation, there will be no changes to the route or frequency of service 61. There will only be minor timetable changes to some journeys with low passenger numbers.
Service 38 will continue to operate, on an improved 15 minute frequency Monday-Saturday daytimes. Alternate journeys will serve Tunstall Bank Estate or Esdale Estate. The service will be diverted to operate via Black Lane instead of Ryhope Green to provide access to health facilities following customer requests.
Following feedback received in this consultation, the amendments to our plans for other services mean there will be no changes to the route or frequency of service 39.
Services 2A and 2C will increase in frequency so that each service operates every 20 minutes, providing a 10 minute frequency from Penshaw to Sunderland via Chester Road.
Fast Cats service X35 will be retimed by up to 10 minutes to improve timings

When I went on Flickr to see a Hybrid, I came across a Gemini on route 10. I thought single-deckers were sufficient for this route but still.

Single deckers haven't been sufficient for a very long time! The Ten is to receive a total upgrade to brand new Volvo B9TLs in the new year.
