From Ryhope - New Seaham towards DP wouldn't have a service, and New Seaham to Dalton park would only be hourly.
23/22 and 60/61 will never interwork, also there is no ticket acceptance. 22/23 pick up no one between Dalton Park and Sunderland. Which is why imo 22 should be ran by GNE.
tbf. that's more ticketing issues though. There should be ticketing between 2 and the BSIP should sort that out. There's too many buses on that corridor and the 61 is the one that's getting the bullet with frequency reductions. In an ideal world the fact it's Arriva / GNE needs to be made irrelevant.
Having 2 operators on one corridor never benefits anyone though really, it's the same with the Coast Road. It's ridiculous how many buses there are between Ryhope/Leechmere and Sunderland though, there's no need for 19 buses an hour in parts which I believe it is in normal times excluding the Stagecoach 10/11 and X6.
Similar there's no need for 11 buses from West Seaham to Sunderland either.
