Peterlee for the 206 you've got about a 20 minute wait to get to Newcastle or Middlesbrough. 

208 you've got either a 15 min wait or a 55 min wait

239 from Newcastle is pretty well timed.

However especially from Dalton park I was getting the bus from Middlesbrough to Newcastle the other night, and I saw on the departure board that there wasn't a 61 for 25 mins towards Murton, Sunderland around 45 mins and there were no 65's.

Going towards Middlesbrough there is a 65 timed to Seaham around 15 mins after it left, and then you have a 10-20 min wait for a 60 if you want to go to Sunderland/Ryhope or to Seaham/Parkside. 

And the connections is probably why people pick the train. GNE should introduce better timed services for X10. 61 towards Murton & Sunderland, 65 towards Seaham for the X10 from Newcastle & Middlesbrough. They should also bring in fares for X10 service + Seaham & Murton Services, aswell as X10 Peterlee Services with greater connections. E.g 206 should come in 10 mins before the X10 is due to depart for Newcastle, and leave 5 mins after X10 is due to come in for Middlesbrough.

There’s nothing wrong with waiting for a bus to turn up, many passengers been doing this for many years and decades and lifetime, it’s part of life . You should work for GNE , I bet Dan would take you under his wing, Dan wouldn’t need customer services complaints as he would get your daily input of what’s happening, anyway how’s the X10 doing, it’s been quite a good loadings during the day when I’ve seen it approaching Peterlee either direction

Don’t forget not every single passenger who gets the Peterlee local services board the X10.

Don’t forget GNE don’t do the timetables and routes for secured services , since practically most of all Peterlee local services are secured, then DCC are responsible for route and timetables.
