I would of liked to see GNE renumbered service 99 into a service 34. So silksworth have service 33,33A,34,35a and 2,2A and north side have service 34,35,35A,36 and X36.
And if allowing the timetable if so to be altered corrected:
The short X36 extending from Sunderland Interchange to Hartlepool via Ryhope, Dalton Park or Seaham, Peterlee then downwards to Hartlepool. The X35 would then if timetable be allowed to run every 30 minutes between Peterlee and Sunderland with a still hourly service extension to Hartlepool but service X35 and X36 provides a 30 minute frequency between Peterlee and Hartlepool (only if the timetable could be worked out to provide a joint service).
