Good points Andreos.
There was also the 809 and 733 that ran and the 777 with Birtley Local 23.
Do you remember the Classic/GNE 'corridor war' with the 21/221?
Adam, the X25 is pretty much down in the dumps because it doesn't make any money. Pretty sad state of affairs but sadly true.
The 'top end' of Birtley 'Northside' doesn't need any more buses that it has. The new housing is high end with car ownership pretty much 2 per house
Chester Le Street doesn't really need a link to the QE as people from Chester generally wouldn't be referred up to the QE but to Durham Hospital. The terminus on Pilgrim Street wasn't popular with passengers.
I think it's a problem that can't be solved unless GNE focus on actual timetables and service over wi-fi and social networking
