I can't see how a pattern of East Rainton, West Rainton, Bournmoor and Great Lumley would work out. The service would have to come down to East Rainton from Hetton-le-Hole, on to West Rainton, and then through Lumley via Leamside. Serving Bournmoor would mean effectively doubling back and adding an unnecessary amount of time to the service.Without saying the suggestion was good or not, it wouldn't need to enter Lumley from Leamside. It could scoot along through Woodstone Village the way the X23 did at one point. It could loop around at the turning circle at New Lambton (not served since the days of the 178, 160 and 163) and then follow the route of the 78 from the quirky little roundabout at Bournmoor.
