I think on the 230, there were getting more passengers on the section between Easington Village and Hartlepool, not much on the Easington to Sunderland section probably due to the Arriva 15 minute frequency on that section and GNE on the later section towards Sunderland, Dalton park is interesting since Arriva 23 from Hartlepool doesn't serve Dalton Park, as the Arriva 24 serves Dalton Park, might pick up passengers from Seaham to Hartlepool.

Looks like the old arrive service number X27, wonder if it serves peterlee bus station, be ashame if it Doesn't.

Im more surprised that GNE hasn't think of extending some of there service 60 from Seaham along the route of the X7 to Peterlee then have the service 60 go down to Hartlepool and have the other service 60's as normal.
