You would be surprised how many people go to Dalton Park from Hartlepool as well and a Service to Seaham especially during holidays would actually work especially with trains not been very reliable and packed. I meant to put X23 instead of X22. One of the problems with this forum is mean people moan about services not been good enough or services been cut when they needed yet when suggestions are made people just say it won’t work. Nobody can know for sure unless things get tried though.
27 again that is pretty much the X1, however I never really understood why the X1, atleast 1 per hour never has again it would pretty much have Arriva sticking out like a sore thumb and it would push more people away from buses, same with the 26. Also I can't imagine many people want to go to Hartlepool from Seaham/Dalton Park.
If anything Hartlepool to Dalton Park should be a bigger part of an express similar to the X22 (which I believe is already a service in the Peterlee area), and every 30 mins between Dalton Park and Newcastle I doubt would work through Arriva maybe with GNE operating it but Arriva wouldn’t stand a chance.
That express is not quite the same as the X1 either there is no service From Hartlepool or Peterlee to Beamish. It opens up a new link to get to the museum. It provides some links lost from the 55 going. The 25 while similar to the 62 would open up links to Hordon Stations. Despite having a bus stop do any services go to the station at all.
