If I want to travel to Hartlepool now from Newcastle I have to change at Peterlee or Durham.Yes it is annoying. By the time the X9 gets to Peterlee the bus is nearly full. Durham then waiting for the 21 to Newcastle takes to long a new service definitely needed.
A handy service for locals/tourists would also be the Hexham to Morpeth run which was withdrawn in about 2015. This used to be operated by Arriva and ran via Matfen and Belsay. I can't remember the number off the top of my head.
