Apart from any estates it may go through (can't remember its route through Peterlee), I can't think of anywhere specific that could cause hold ups.
Might have a look at the X35 timetable to compare/contrast if I get a chance.
There's an interminable meander through various narrow streets in Peterlee - all it takes is a bit of crap parking for it to be held up. When I caught the 22 that was about this time last year, before they swapped over, there was one of the journeys when we lost a good 10 minutes simply with the number of people getting on and off and the fact that there was only room for single file traffic, in places. There was a long period last summer when there were roadworks near hart village and the 22 barely kept to a timetable at all. Much, much worse than it's been with the Dalton park roadworks.
