Why change it if it works for them and there happy with the Service that is being provided, Obviously GNE may minor changes to improve reliabillity every now and again, But don't see the 20/35 changing any time soon. Passengers in Shields can get the 35 into Sunderland Every 10 Minutes and then Swap onto a 20 which is also Every 10 Minutes and vice versa from the Durham side, or if they don't fancy that they can get the 50 and go via Washington and Chester le Street to Durham.
