The turning area at the hospital will easily accommodate a double decker, X71 doesn't carry that many between Consett and burnhopfield, The X72 variation carries even less.
I think the 6 (or a varient) should run via hobson.
How on earth do you get from bridgehill to medomsley, also on the 46?
As I previously said, the X70/X71 pick up and drop off a hell of a lot of passengers in the morning. I'm fairly sure the X71 is contracted through hamsterly mill to lintz, but even if it isn't - it's a link that hasn't been broken for near decades, and it's healthy. There is no reason to run a limited stop service from consett. During the day they are empty enough as they are, without omitting stops.
