Like I stated before 22/23 don't pick up anyone between Dalton Park and Sunderland. so really its 7.
Clearly there is a need for the 60/61 at 6, Hopefully back upto 7 per hour at the end of October. I don't think the 22/23 will go back upto every 15 mins, I think the 22 Might, but not the 23. Realistically 22/23/24 would all be ran by GNE. Especially the Sunderland to Durham part
See if there as only one operator somehow or ticketing works that there's only one operator and it's all shared evenly (not going to happen obviously) I'd go even further imo this would be the best then, numbers would probably need changing.
22: Sunderland - Express via X6 route - Seaham - Express via X6 route - Doxford Park - Current 22 Route, every 30 minutes
23: Current Route, every 30 minutes
61: Current Route, terminating at Murton, every 30 minites
---
Combined Every 15 Minutes
60: Current Route, every 15 minutes
---
Combined with above, Every 7.5 Minutes
35: Current route, extended to Durham, hourly
36: Current 35 route to Hetton, extended to Peterlee, hourly
37: Current 65 route, hourly
38: Current 65 route to far side Murton, extended to Peterlee via 61 route, hourly

All areas combined to give 30 minutes services between the main points, there's only Low Moorsley to Murton on the Sunderland leg with a worse service than now. It would also mean that all the villages around there are connected without changing, albeit only hourly.
With the rotas working, 35 -> 37 -> 38 -> 36 (or reverse).
X6: Withdrawn
