Problem with merging 61/265 is that Seaham lose their Durham connection, I can't imagine anyone would be too pleased about that.
Id like to see a Newcastle service introduced. I've said it a few time that having the Red Arrows every 10 minutes Newcastle-Houghton.
X1 to Easington Lane via Hetton every 30 minutes
X2 to Dalton Park via Hetton & Murton every 30 minutes
X3 to Seaham via Seaton & Station Road every 30 minutes
X1 doesn't pick up a lot of passengers on the Easington Lane-Houghton part on most trips, and a lot of the travel is local hops. Something could be introduced Houghton-Easington Lane to then work alongside X1/X35 to give a bus every 10 minutes from Houghton, Hetton, Easington Lane.
