Driver changeovers, and the circular route doesn’t lend itself to merged into other services and it’s a pretty limited timetable as it is now anyway. 206 could went back into the 55 route but I can’t see the 55 lasting either. Perhaps the 201 survives via some of extension to the X6? Nice direct worker links from Seaham too.I wonder if they'll go back to being an end-to-end route like it was in 2013 - an arrangement that lasted all of 10 months (IMO didn't really help that the first bus into Peterlee arrived after 9), or if they'll split them at Horden Hall, so, for example, the 209 does Peterlee - Crawford Avenue - Horden Hall and back, and the 210 does Peterlee - Horden - Horden Hall and back.

More recently, that plot's been a depot for a coach company, and apparently is now going to be houses (big surprise).
