I think these could be made more successful if services could be better co-ordinated with the 36 arriving from Teesside. The 7 could be achieved by putting services back 10 minutes, which on paper would leave a 5 minute connection between the services on Victoria Road. Co-ordinating with the 6 could be a bit more difficult as it would seem pointless having 2 buses in tandem between York Road and Owton Manor Lane. Possibly reducing evening 6's to every 30 minutes and having a service between Town and Owton Manor every 15 minutes could solve this though, as well as leaving adequate time for connections.
As the 6 and 36 share the route south of the town centre I'd suggest rather than having a 20 min frequency on evening 6s - have them run every 30 mins but following the route of the 3 south of the town. This would use the same amount of vehicles but a wider area would be served. In a dream world it would continue to Seaton via Golden Flatts......and be called the 15.
