tbh probably better merging the 79 and the Seaham half of the 71 as one and try and link it up with the trains at Seaham Train Station. A breadvan is enough capacity for it and would save some money but it would involve Nexus and DCC working together. Can't see that side ever being profitable whatever you do.
Could then maybe bolt the other half onto the 25 and give a direct link to Newcastle / Gateshead. They're all subsidised routes so no reason why it can't really be done.
