If the demand was there Arriva's X46 would run past Crook more than once a day and Weardale's X6 would run more than 2 days a week. Certainly there would be no more demand than there is for existing services proposed for withdrawal.
The X6 hasn't even done that for a little while, been suspended for the last few months due to reduced patronage post COVID. There's also the 764 that runs between Wolsingham & Consett on weekdays consisting of 3 trips a day (2 trips on Thursdays) which runs with council support.
