If your going to redirect buses via Amazon then the best bus would be the 7. It currently has a 15 minute layover in Durham and it would only take an extra few minutes and provide a new link from the bottom end of Durham to Darlington aswell with a 30 minute service on it so it's not too infrequent and the other half of the route would be still every 30 minutes where most of is duplicated by other routes anyway.
