Had a look on the timetable, and, between Seaham & Peterlee:
The 62 takes nearly an hour
The 202 took just under 50 minutes
The X6 takes 20 minutes (by the time it gets to Dalton Park, it's caught up with a 62 that left Peterlee half an hour before it, resulting in the terrible headway between DP and Sunderland)
Faster doesn’t mean better though
X6 might be quicker but the 62 picks up more potential passengers than the x6.
Yea because the 202 didn’t go via Easington, the 62 is just an replacement of the 208 between Easington and Peterlee , serving more areas is better than not picking any passengers up
62 serves areas and keeping estates connected
