Do many go past the retail park like? Seems really overbussed around there from an outsider yet other areas are virtually busless like Coundon (down to hourly) yet 5 buses go via nothing. Massive areas of Spennymoor to the North and the West of Bishop Auckland which are virtually busless aswell.

You'd think they'd be better having a 'slow' bus which services some of them then maybe an X6 which does the X21 route but they work with it for a clean 4 BPH.

ie something like - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Carr+S...?entry=ttu

The whole of that route from end to end has pretty much has an absymal bus service and it's not as if it's going around fields.
