But that all great but it costs money for which, £1.80 from Sunderland - Peterlee (which is VERY cheap). Peterlee-Houghton £1.80 then Houghton to Sunderland is £1.80 it is double the fare. Which isn't going to make people jump for the bus. and Houghton & Hetton aren't the best places to change over for buses. They're not the nicest. Especially into the late evening.
No-one in their right mind would travel on the 55 between Peterlee and Sunderland.
The 22 and 23 travel both to Sunderland every 15/30 minutes and connect to every single area pretty much locally.
Peterlee is Arriva territory not GNE.
