(07 Mar 2022, 6:38 pm)Storx 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 -> Leamside -> 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55 - Withdrawn (Nothing unique and alternatives exist with the X1, 62, 35 and 20/20A)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).
What happens to West Rainton?
How does the bus get from Leamside to Carville?
