The last time I did an X6, most passengers were free pass holders but the early morning runs used to get a fair few college kids on for East Durham College. I think the X6 is a good idea but Sunderland to Peterlee has too many buses and dare I say it, the fact it goes onto Peterlee locals is the only reason it's still here.
I agree with previous comments about the 61 and its extension to Peterlee though having a strange route round Murton.
But that can be fixed.
Operational convenience isn't something that a passenger should be concerned about.
Particularly if that operational convenience has a negative impact on the passenger experience.
