The thing is with the 60 most of the route is only covered by one service, its only when it gets to new Seaham it joins with the 61. Most of the 60 passengers would get on between Parkside & Deneside which is why the 60 is every 12 mins as such a large part of the route is by itself,especially with the 62 gone so most people who would get the 62 from Dawdon/Seaham have moved onto the 60.
Aye can't argue about that but surely it would be fine if you pulled off the Sunderland to Seaham flows onto a more frequent express service so local services aren't been filled by passengers who arguably should be using the X6 instead but it's too infrequent.
I don't know on that one btw.
Not sure I agree with the 61A though as Murton passengers are being punished even further. Personally I'd be looking at the 2, 2A, 39, 39A. Does there really need to be 8 buses an hour along there or could you just try something new.
Say a new loop service like this which takes part of the 2A, 39A, 39B and 33:

It opens a lot of new links up and connects the two supermarkets in South Sunderland and the Royal Hospital without going around the world.
Then maybe you could have the 2 and 39 both every 30 minutes, it's all it needs really. That would reduce a few buses from along there.

Aye can't argue with that to be fair mind. Guess it's what Nexus wants though.
