Please correct me if I'm looking at this horribly wrong, but it looks to me that both buses on weekdays start at Seaham, but end at opposite ends of the route, and the low floor buses also take over at opposite ends (presumably running off other routes). Weekends they seem to start and end towards the Seaham end (I'd be surprised if those 2315 journeys from Seaham carted round much more than a driver and some fresh air).
This is all implying to me it was a Deptford route, not a CLS one.
I can't recall what happened with the evening journeys, but around that time they'd have been using the East Lancs Pyoneer bodied Olympians during the day.

They should definitely bring them back
It's likely not needed, when you've got ticket machines that are capable of receiving an accurate time using NTP, along with technology to track early and late operation.
