Rather than a route along Dalton Park > Sunderland corridor; maybe they go Seaham > Doxford > Hospital > Sunderland. It'd give gne a bit of a kick up the backside hopefully. Anyway, most people I see using buses are using singles and returns.

to fail straightaway. I can run (as I do) direct via Coast Rd / Ryhope road faster than the bus meanders around Sunderland.

But I do feel like there hast to be a link from Murton, Seaham, Doxford Park, A690 (while going into areas).

I think GNE especially in Sunderland should add services which stop in places such as South Hylton, Thorney, hasting I feel like that is something they can do to expand,
