Didn't think the 55 would survive cuts, The 62 doesn't carry many, the reason for that is abysmal route/timetable planning, the X6 is always going to look more attractive for people going to Seaham/Dalton Park, and it leaves fifteen minutes later. Other links are also at risk as Durham County wont be funding anything around South Hetton area.
As many have said, the future of bus services doesn't look great, government funding - what little is left is in the main tied up for 'new services/initiatives' only, so that was never going to be a bail out..
Time to get your bikes out people
