About to go off topic here but I would like to suggest the following changes around Seaham/Hetton/Houghton/Sunderland.
Service 71 Chester-Great Lumley-Fencehouses-Houghton-Seaton-Seaham.
Extend it on from Houghton to Seaham via Seaton & Station Road. Increasing frequency between Seaham & Houghton as well as opening new connections along the route.
Service 238 (38A) Sunderland-Ashbrooke-Hollycarrside-Ryhope-Seaham-Northlea-Dalton Park
Renumber the 238 to 38A, possibly brand the service? And run it as present to Northlea but then to Dalton Park instead of Houghton (as 71 will cover that) this would bring back a link to Dalton Park which was lost after 24th March Changes. As well as brand new service to Dalton Park from South Sunderland other than the 'Stockton Road Corridor'.
Service X35 (Evenings: Sunderland-Doxford International-Houghton-Hetton-South Hetton-Easington-Peterlee)
I would like to see an evening service brought in between Sunderland & Peterlee, this opens up new connections in evenings and makes bus services simpler as it could reduce all 35C/35B, as again I'm not keen with using loads of letters it gets confusing.
Service 35/35A.
35 & 35A unchanged on Daytimes, 35 to Low Moorsley via Hospital & Durham Road & 35A to Rainton Bridge via Burn Park Road & Silksworth. Evenings & Sundays, run one simple 35 serving both Hospital & Silksworth terminating at Low Moorsley.
Service 61/61A (61 via Stockton Road, 61A via Station Road & Seaham Interchange)
Daytime 61 unchanged. Evenings I would like to see a 61A introduced from Mill Inn operate to Seaham Interchange, Byron Place via Station Road & Viceroy Street. Then back up to Graham Way and as 61 to Murton. On Sundays half-hourly service, one bus as 61, one bus as 61A. The idea to bring later evening and sunday buses between Murton, Dalton Park & Seaham. This would also provide a service to the Station Road area on Sundays & later evenings.
Service X5
Newcastle-Gateshead-Heworth-Boldon-Fulwell-Sunderland-Grangetown-Seaham-Dalton Park
This service would operate hourly replacing the X3. Running the same route as the X3 to Park Lane then same route as X7 to Seaham then up to Dalton Park. This brings a number of new connections and hopefully make the X3 passenger numbers go up.
Frequencies as normal or as specified.
