Aye, but they thought the 60 would work on a night.
It was never going to work based on the route it takes and the places it goes to/goes through.

If there's enough people to make a bus from Seaham to Nissan work, then it needs to be as quick or there abouts as a car.
Whatever the N56 does right, isn't because of its marketing  Its because of the route its taken since its 187/188 days and the fact Nissan was built where it was.
