Possibly 2 operated by Chester as there is now and the rest by Peterlee?
The 238 is currently Deptford-based. Either way, an MPD seems a more appropriate vehicle from what I've seen - and I think that operating it from Peterlee would mean they could do it cheaper too (from a driver's wages perspective). One of the GNE insiders may be able to confirm this or say it's complete rubbish though!
Perhaps Fozz will be able to provide a better insight in regards to what passenger numbers are like on that service and if there are any trends - as he lives closer to the route than me.
I never see too many passengers on it at the Sunderland end of the route, and the passengers that I do see could just be for the section which is shared with the 38 - so I'm not sure.
