Not sure the demand is there for a Sunday service though, as Peterlee is absolutely dead on a Sunday. Arriva's 22 carries fresh air most of the day, too.
Agree with that Dan, although I have seen decent loads on the 22 between Easington and Peterlee, it does not carry a great deal.
One thing I would suggest though, is a short X7 Sunderland-Seaham, quite a few people head to Seaham, and the amount of people that goto the Car Boot Sale in the summer is in unbelievable, they have to walk from Seaton Road Ends or Ryhope Village

My reflections at the time.
Anything to do with Easington Lane is tense, I won't forget Malarkey saying he got hacky looks off a couple there when he was taking pictures, surprised he got away unscathed and with camera still in hand
