65 does great numbers on a sunday, after 8am yes.
Also with the 9 & 61 every hour on Week nights, I have a feeling the 61 & 9 will interwork with the 60. I don't see why 61 was branded in Simpliciyy from the first place it literally follows 50% of the 60's route.
But also the 61 could serve the Avenue & Station Road.
