New shopping areas. Perhaps have some to Washington Seaham. Don't get me wrong some routes are good but others ie 18/19 run empty. What routes could open up?? Looking forward to gas buses

Thanks Acky81.

I remember back in the day when the 118 and 121/122, before they were joined up into the 118/119, ran every 10 minutes and were very well used. With a reduction to every 20 minutes then every 30 minutes and the diversions via Hendon and the Eye Infirmary to replace the 6, the 18/19 just don't seem to provide an attractive service any more.

As for the housing estates, all of them appear to have a service to the City Centre every 10 minutes or better whilst Go-Ahead provide 10 minute links to Washington and Seaham. Are these not sufficient or are there other specific links not currently being provided for?
