Just a thought though, it would be closer for Durham to do the early oneWhilst it sounds far, it actually takes a similar amount of mileage and time to get back to Faverdale from North Hylton than it takes to run dead to/from Peterlee Bus Station. The changes to the weekday timetable mean only one bus will now run dead to Peterlee on a morning (currently two run dead) and there won't be a bus running dead back from Peterlee on a night anymore, so if my calculations are correct the combined mileage should actually be slightly less than it is now.
According to Google Maps here are some estimated comparisons for mileage and time (obviously times will be longer as bus can't do 70mph but you get the idea):
North Hylton to Belmont: 11 miles, 17 minutes
North Hylton to Faverdale: 29 miles, 33 minutes
Peterlee Bus Station to Faverdale: 27 miles, 34 minutes
