(07 Mar 2022, 5:55 pm)cbma06 The x20 could divert via Doxford to do the peak runs on the 55 if the 55 set to be withdrawn
I would of extended the 35 from low moorsley to sherburn via low and high pittington
I would chop the 20 at Sunderland and have the x20 going to shields, and chop the x20 at Durham and extend the 204/204a ( change number) to Langley park

Personally I'd get shot of the X20 altogether and clean up the corridor there and have the following routes.
20 - South Shields -> Sunderland -> Houghton Le Spring -> Dene Gardens -> Middle Rainton -> A690 -> Carrville -> Gilesgate -> Durham (Every 20 Mins)
20A - South Shields -> Sunderland -> Doxford Park -> Houghton Le Spring -> Rainton Arena -> Middle Rainton -> West Rainton -> Carrville -> A690 -> Durham (Every 20 Mins)
65 - Extended to Langley Park (Every 30 Mins)
35 - Evening route missing Rainton Arena (Every 30 Mins)
55 - Withdrawn (Nothing unique and alternatives exist with the X1, 62, 35 and 20/20A)
The PVR should be about the same and the 20/20A will be slightly quicker than it is now for most people with a better frequency on the South Shields ends (or you could drop it down to 20 minutes if it's not needed).
