It's only 5 minutes longer than the X22 current route and misses the A1. Annfield Plain to Dipton have been very vocal about not having a bus to the Metro Centre recently so in theory they should be getting on in their droves. If they don't use it then withdraw and they can just claim they tried which is good PR either way. If it works then it works. It also gives Burnhope and Maiden Law a bus to Durham.
i think this is a good idea. Northumbria tried this with a service where i used to live as everyone was complain there was no connection to kingston park form the villages of dinnington, brinswick, wideopen and hazlerigg. Think in its first week it was well used but then was cancelled after several months of make a loss due to low passenger numbers. Thin k the 101 start after this to give hazlerigg and, dingginton and wideopen the connection aging but missed out brunswick
