X1 change is a good move giving South Hetton a bus to Hetton/Houghton and beyond every 15 minutes. A few oddities that the last bus which extends to Peterlee is later on a Sunday than a Saturday, surely later on a Saturday would have been better. 47 again is a good change with a few extra journeys to/from Consett.
Interesting that the 33 is part of BSIP funding. I’m not huge fan of public money propping up bus services, but we are where we are - it’s shame nothings been done to restore the 202/62 in full without the round the world trip in Murton. I know loosing links to Seaham and Spectrum from South Hetton/Easington was raised by some when it first changed.
