Then ticket prices increased, then journey times increased (due to the direct buses being cancelled) and then the later journies ceased to exist.
I dont use the bus now.
Another with the X1, the Dalton Park journeys the last one was at 16:31 towards Dalton Park and the first one was 9pm, and really extending it to Dalton Park makes no/little sense when Seaham via Deneside, possibly even upto Dawdon/Parkside is just another 20 mins, and if they are still at 15 mins the PVR should be enough, and extending it atleast along Princess Road (i think) should give back what the 62 lost)
And later services, first one being at say 5:30/6am from Seaham and the final one being say 7pm connect it with the 60 and you've got a great advertisements. Leaflets through the doors of people. Time it hourly hourly with the 61 if possible.
