The amount of people that I used to see go cross city was decent as there is no cross city route from Seaburn way besides the 23 and that does quite well.

I hope the 60 can be upped to every 12 again as the crush periods really are crushed. Surely this one should be prioritised over the 56 being reinstated as that has deckers and can cope. The 60 cannot be upgraded without huge route change.

If you wanted to create a new cross city route, could you not just merge the 24 and 33 instead. They're both every 15 minutes now.

Could even extend the 33 through to Doxford, serving the new housing estates around Silksworth Road. It means it wouldn't be impacted by delays in Durham or wherever, don't believe there's any real trouble points on the 33. It's a quite direct route to Doxford Park aswell really.
