The 22/23 is quicker between Sunderland and Easington / Peterlee and more frequent
The X6 is quicker between Seaham and Peterlee
The X6 left 5 mins apart between Seaham and Sunderland
The X1 does South Hetton and Easington Lane to Peterlee quicker
Once you take all that out what exactly did it do, Easington to Seaham / South Hetton via the world and Murton to Peterlee around the world as there's nothing else there really (the 55 still existed at the time).
The 62 and 202 had decent loads throughout from what I experienced, so it wasn't even that much of a failure. And now Dawdon has completely lost its service to Dalton Park and Peterlee.
