Extend to Newcastle from Sunderland via Newcastle Road/Boldon or a quicker variant of the X36 route.
In the recent past, most of the Newcastle Road services were stand-alone, relying on picking up at Sunderland and points along the way.
Appreciate there was a variant of the 161 at one point, but who is going to travel from Low Moorsley, Hetton, Houghton etc on that, when you have a faster, more frequent alternative.
If the X6/7 is extended, it wouldn't be relying on passengers from Sunderland or points along the way, it's loads would be supplemented by those travelling from points south of Sunderland across the city and beyond
Hope not, I live on the only GNE route x7 and I don’t need it to be delayed any further than it is from the A19 as some of the x7 bus services have already turned around at Peterlee bus station coming from Sunderland and headed back to Sunderland and not doing the circular route in Peterlee, it will be more unreliable with congestion in Newcastle area.
