X35: Newcastle - Gateshead - Heworth - Wardley - Downhill - Southwick - Monkwearmouth - Sunderland City Centre - Doxford International - Houghton-le-Spring - Hetton-le-Hole - Easington Lane - South Hetton - Easington Village - Peterlee - Hordon - Blackhall - Hartlepool
I imagine passengers will be able to do that, just as they can with the LOOP. They just havr to sit on the bus during layover period.
