Westlea was left with a council bus that ran 4 or 5 times a day and has been suspended since the first lockdown, and Northlea got the 238 (now 71)
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

Also, the 62A is what serves all the estates, the 62 just passes through. It's probably just to keep a 30-min frequency in that area, otherwise the diversion is pretty pointless, meanwhile if I was still at college, I'd be facing an extra 20 minutes on my journey (10 min extra on the bus, 10 min walking because it no longer stops outside the college), or having to either buy a day ticket, or try to use Arriva.
