After doing 2/3 days in a row on 23s, I noticed that the X6 was running with 5 people max. over all the journeys that I saw, whilst the Arriva Streetlites had around a half-loading. I still think the problem that GNE have in Peterlee is that of weekly tickets. They have no evening/Sunday services operating between Sunderland-Peterlee-Hartlepool whereas Arriva have some sort of network and therefore is more appealing to passengers.
