If I'm correct I think Biddick has around 6-7 buses and hour during the day and Harraton around 4 in total I think? I agree the Little Pinks are fine at the moment but I think if the 55 intergrated the 86 route there would be potential for more passengers.
I lose track of the Washington services, but pretty sure Harraton and Rickleton have more than that.
2/2a, 8 and 81.
Appreciate the 2/2a doesn't quite hit Rickleton mind. A fair drop from days of yore mind, when there was the likes of the 294, 179, 180, X6, 777, 638 etc.

I'm not sure the loop roads in Biddick or Lambton need a service to be honest.
As for Bonemill Lane - there's the 8. Scoots straight down it to/from Harraton and Rickleton.
