Most of the follow up suggestions in here seem to be getting towards introducing agreements for entire networks. That is supposed to be coming, but it's through new ticketing, not qualifying agreements.

Personally I'd say the Sunderland - Seaham - Peterlee corridor is one but it's more about one doing the 'express' work and the other doing the 'local' work. The 22/23/60/61 corridor is the problem corridor similar with the 22/23/X6. By moving things around so the 60/61/(62) does one and the 22/23 do the other it's resolving it but in a different way and each of them having a purpose. 

You'd still need interworking ticketing so people on the Peterlee Locals still have access to Sunderland (now 22) instead of X6 and people in Seaton Grange can get to Hartlepool etc with a change at Dalton Park etc. 

I know in Oxford there's been whole corridors cancelled and routes moved as part of it.

Without any quality contract your still going have the 22/23/60/61 all jumping over each other and you can't really outright cancel one as they all have a purpose.
