Every 30 Minutes
Would cut the Journey Time of the X35 by upto 30 Minutes
Resulting in a Journey Time of about an Hour Between Sunderland and Hartlepool
Connects with Extended East Durham Service 239 at Peterlee to Maintain Links between Houghton and Peterlee
Connections to Tyne Tees and Wear Tees Xpress Services X7/X9 at Peterlee for links to Newcastle/Middlesbrough and Sunderland
So, you're proposing making the X35 double back on itself (Doxford Park being right next to the A19) and having Go North East take on a currently Evenings and Sunday contract service on commercially and extending it? Sorry, but it wouldn't work.
