When you're serving a remote area, like Peterlee is, it's often the best way to run some of the local services. We're talking about the flexibility for at most 20 Saturdays a year, but realistically probably 2/3 of that.It also runs onto the 208.
Looking at the X6, the same buses also interwork with the 38/201/209/210. I'm not familiar with the 209/210, but I can't think of anything on the 38/201 routes that would cause a problem for say a Streetlite or Citaro.
You'd likely struggle getting anything bigger than a Solo round the 8,9 and 10 - not without taking up the whole road.
Even on non-matchdays, though, the X6 gets rammed at times (well, for a minibus).
