Just racking my brains and trying to come up with services filling employment, education, medical and social needs that don't exist or need improving.
Dalton Park: For a major retail and employment provider, so close to the A19, it's amazing how poorly served it is or hard to get there from anywhere other than Peterlee, Sunderland or Seaham. I don't understand the insistence in running multiple services to Dalton Park, from the same places.
Doxford Park: When the fairly recent development of Rainton Bridge, Quroum business parks and also Team Valley can attract investment and partnership working with Arriva, Nexus and GNE, it baffles me as to why (apart from the odd exception) it is so difficult to get a direct route to the place from beyond Sunderland or Houghton.
As mentioned earlier, I believe the M1 and X1 should operate a circular route between Houghton and Shiney Row. X1 runs as is to Easington Lane from Newcastle and returns to Newcastle via the current M1 route to Shiney Row. The M1 would run on its old route from Houghton towards Shiney Row.
Some sort of spacing of services running between Chester and Washington. It is frustrating seeing a Lime 8 and Whey Aye 50 following each other in and out of the two town centres.
