Covering: Sunderland, Roker, Fulwell, Ryhope, Seaham, Peterlee and the rest of the SR postcode area.
The local landmark: Roker's Victorian pier and lighthouse and the Stadium of Light stand either side of the mouth of the Wear.
Students: The University of Sunderland runs city centre and riverside St Peter's campuses, with student accommodation concentrated between the two.
On the ground: Sunderland's distinctive single-storey cottage terraces line street after street, with former colliery terraces in Seaham and post-war estates in Peterlee. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Students arriving for the University of Sunderland and graduates heading south for London careers make this a genuinely two-way route.
While you wait for the van: In the nineteenth century Sunderland was described as the largest shipbuilding town in the world.
