Quite a lot of people who I talk to at work travel from South Shields & Durham to which the 20 provides direct link to Doxford International on a Sunday, from the 3rd September they will have either get the Bus to Herrington Board Inn and walk from there which takes around 20 Minutes for where we are on business park, or face changing in Sunderland or Houghton on to the X5. Once again these service changes from Go North East causes an inconvenience to those who rely on the services in there current form to get from A to B, and this example in particular is most definitely a loss of service.
There must not be a demand for a 20 minute service through doxford international on a Sunday, there will have to join the club where of getting off the bus and boarding another bus. The same as other passengers have to do, it's nice to have a direct bus from a to b but this is the world we live in these days, I always thought that traveling from Durham to Sunderland on a Sunday with the bus going around doxford international was a convenience on the journey times.
