Have it running at the other side of the clock to the x22 from the Metrocentre - Birtley - Chester - Durham - Sherburn Road - A181 - Thornley - Wheatley Hill - A181 - Blackhall Colliery - Hartlepool.
Durham - Peterlee is more than covered with both ANE and GNE, but it would still be quicker to Hartlepool than the ANE offerings (despite following the 22 route from Durham - Wheatley Hill) from Durham and hits a number of communities along the 'quicker road'.
