options on service X35/X36:
option A:
Why doesn't GNE run the X35 as a through service at Sunderland Interchange? the service has 7minutes layover before it goes out onto X36 to Newcastle which is nothing and it has about 20 minutes layover in Sunderland before it heads off to Hartlepool (it roughly takes about 10 minutes to get the passengers on board at Sunderland Interchange anyway as most passengers wait for this service to Houghton etc... instead of the 35 series), and run it as X35 between Hartlepool and Newcastle with it a split service at Sunderland Interchange as what GNE did with registering the X7 twice at Peterlee.
option B:
Run the X35 hourly between Hartlepool and Newcastle but half hourly between Peterlee bus station and Sunderland Interchange and run the X36 Newcastle to Hartlepool with a half hourly between Sunderland and Newcastle with X35, and extend the X36 from Sunderland to Hartlepool via Grangetown, Ryhope, Seaham Inn, Dalton Park, Easington Village to Peterlee bus station, then the X35 and X36 still be a joint 30 minute service between Peterlee and Hartlepool. it would take in customers off the Arriva 23 from Hartlepool and the Arriva service 24 between Peterlee and Sunderland and it would be more limited stop between Peterlee and Sunderland.
