Revised 202 Peterlee-Easington-Hawthorn-Dalton Park-Woods Terrace-Barnes Road-Wellfield Road-Station Estate-Hetton-Moorsley-Belmont-Durham
The Timing would be close to an hour give or take.
Revised 265 Seaham-Dalton Park-Woods Terrace-Cornwall Estate-Burnip Road-Barnes Road-Murton Cenataph-Easington Lane-Elemore Lane-Pittington-Belmont-Durham...
Just another crackpot suggestion from Mista Fozz
When GNE took on the secured East Durham bus services commercially, there were a couple of conditions and one of the conditions were to keep the main key links on the bus services otherwise GNE would of lost the services to other bus operators, this is why the majority of the East Durham bus services had to be secured in the first place but by changing some services then the key links will wont be there. Nice to see suggestions on the East Durham Brand but will not happen for sometime, the 202 has to be on between Peterlee and Seaham but the section between Seaham and Sunderland did get withdrawn but the service got revised with the new 238 between Sunderland and Seaham almost similar route which provides the key link. even though theres a direct link on the X7 between Peterlee and Seaham but the X7 is a non stop express while the 202 and 238 is all stops. The link between South Hetton to Durham via Pittington has to remain aswell.
