As regards Oxford Road, The 3 passes the western end, the 1 and 7 both pass the eastern end and the road is only a mile long. So it's reasonably well served if you don't mind a half mile walk should you miss the 36.
That maybe true but what if the person struggles to walk far.

They aren't all key workers and surely such a crowd contravenes both gathering and social distancing guidelines; I don't get just why people have this herd mentality thing and then why they need to spend hours standing outside supermarkets. Hasn't anyone worked this out yet and adapted? As for services in Hartlepool, OK I'm not up to date with just what's happening but a cursory look at the emergency timetables tells me that the area is well covered and if it isn't then walking is good for us.
Even with the argument people should be staying in and they not all key workers people still need to go shopping or might need to go to bank or needed to buy things the local shop don't sell. Now I agree people should use buses if it is vital and reducing service is the right thing to do but if people are still out then maybe the solution could be an extra bus at peak times or some of the mothballed E300 from Teesside been used to keep social distancing.   Although the simple is have the 6 do the full route again and terminate the 3 at Rift House.
