In my experiences, usually the furthest I see passengers travel to/from Sunderland is Fishburn, the only people I've seen go further than Fishburn to/from Sunderland are members of this forum.

I would like to point out these observations were from before the service changes commenced at the end of October which saw the full route become the X21 and the route was changed in Peterlee and diverted via Seaham. I have used the X21 to/from Sunderland once in each direction since the route was changed and sadly I feel that the decision to alter the route was a mistake as on my two journeys the numbers seemed to have gone down on the Peterlee - Sunderland stretch of the route, hopefully they may pick up but I ain't sure, especially with the changes GNE have introduced with the X6/X7 this week.

Speaking from experience I usually do the X21 at least 4 times a week that I do a full round trip on the X21, what with being friends with a driver and he's usually on that route, there's a few odd times that you take a handful of people from Darlington to Sunderland, not very often, the most popular bit of the route is between sedgefield and peterlee
