Probably better to have two buses to/from Wingate to Sunderland rather than have one via Wheatley Hill especially since the 22 was rerouted to serve Sunderland. Problems with this one being it would be following the combined half hourly 21/21A between Peterlee and Sedgefield and to serve Sedgefield you would be pretty much going back on the route to reach Ferryhill also this would be the same as the Scarlet Band 33 which doesn't get many passengers and is supported by Durham County Council or what you could run via the A689 between Sedgefield and Rushyford then either run via Chilton to reach Ferryhill then either via Coundon (same way as the 56) or via Spennymoor (same way as 113) to reach Bishop Auckland or instead of serving Ferryhill continue down the A689 and run direct to Bishop Auckland from Sedgefield.
Aye that sounds better - would passenger numbers be good though?
