Also I'm not sure many people in Middlesbrough would want to go to the Washington Galleries.
From looking at the X9/X10 Timetable, it takes 29 Minutes from Heworth to Peterlee, With my idea - The X9/X10 would only Serve Washington and Houghton otherwise it's Limited Stopping as it is now, with that being said I think Heworth to Peterlee via Washington and Houghton could be done in around 40-45 Minutes.
Route would be as follows
Heworth - A184 Felling Bybass - Lingey Lane - Northumberland Way to Peel Retail Park - A1231 to Washington Galleries - X1 Route to Easington Lane - Continues from Easington Lane via X35 Route to Peterlee.
- Note doesn't stop at Easington Lane, this simply a via Point.
