X6 – A new Monday to Saturday hourly daytime service from Sunderland via Seaham Harbour, Spectrum, Dalton Park, A19, Peterlee Moorcock, Peterlee Bus Station to Blackhall and Hartlepool. Creates new ‘fast’ direct links from Blackhall area to Spectrum and Seaham Harbour.
X7 – This existing Monday to Saturday hourly daytime service from Sunderland to Middlesbrough via Peterlee and Wingate is revised to terminate in Peterlee with a one-way terminal loop around Grampian Drive, Pennine Drive, Oakerside, Southway and Passfield Way. Wingate loses its direct service to Middlesbrough (we are advised numbers travelling were very low) but a service is restored to Grampian Drive (hourly but limited in view of being in one direction only – journeys to Peterlee and the north would be by the ‘long’ way round via Oakerside) with the Oakerside area benefitting from a direct service to Dalton Park, Spectrum, Seaham Harbour and Sunderland. See service 202 for replacement services in Wingate and Station Town to the North.
X35 – Existing service X35 Sunderland to Hartlepool renumbered to X5 to fit in the local number sequence with marketing benefits. No change to route or times.
202 - This existing Monday to Saturday hourly daytime service from Seaham to Peterlee is extended via the A19 to Wingate and Station Town with a terminal loop round the back of Station town Front Street opposite the Care Home. This restores Station Town and Wingate links to the north arising from changes to service X7 and maintains direct links from these communities to Dalton Park, Spectrum and Seaham Harbour.
206 – First journey revised to start at Wingate Fir Tree 4 minutes before current start at Wingate Victoria.
208 – Monday to Friday 0914 journey Easington Village to Peterlee to run 5 minutes earlier.
209/210 – Peterlee to Horden Hall circulars. Monday to Friday 0828 journey Peterlee to Horden Hall retimed to 0858 improving the spread of arrivals in Peterlee from Horden Hall (there will be an 0928 service 210 arrival in Peterlee instead of services 209 and 210 both arriving at 0858). The 0839 service 209 remains for journeys to Cotsford Lane Primary School.

New 202 Station Town to Seaham
I can see it having problems going around the back of Front Street in Station Town as it's a narrow uneven road and complicated by parked cars
