Option 3 is probably a more sutible option, and a rather good one too!

Every 30 Minutes
239 - Houghton-le-Spring - Hetton-le-Hole - Easington Lane - South Hetton - Easington Village - Horden - Blackhall - Peterlee – Wingate – Sedgefield
Every 30 Minutes
Would cut the Journey Time of the X35 by upto 30 Minutes
Resulting in a Journey Time of about an Hour Between Sunderland and Hartlepool
Connects with Extended East Durham Service 239 at Peterlee to Maintain Links between Houghton and Peterlee
Connections to Tyne Tees and Wear Tees Xpress Services X7/X9 at Peterlee for links to Newcastle/Middlesbrough and Sunderland
(05 Nov 2013, 7:30 pm)Kuyoyo wrote So, you're proposing making the X35 double back on itself (Doxford Park being right next to the A19) and having Go North East take on a currently Evenings and Sunday contract service on commercially and extending it? Sorry, but it wouldn't work.
(05 Nov 2013, 7:42 pm)Adam Malarkey wrote Bugger I have just realised my mistake, it's the A690 next to Houghton and not the A19, So yes it would have to Double Back on itself, so therefore it wouldn't work that way.
So instead of the X35 Serving Houghton, it could as you said join the A19 at Doxford Park and have the 239 as I proposed maintain the link between Houghton and Peterlee.

(14 Nov 2013, 9:18 pm)aureolin wrote I'd agree with this. I've a feeling that the 58 will be Heworth - Newcastle before long. Notice how the branding doesn't contain any points past Newcastle on the side of it? Seems strange to not even include the destination.

(14 Nov 2013, 9:52 pm)citaro5284 wrote In that case, would you just not restore the short 58's between Heworth and Newcastle back to Hadrian Park?
