Btw I know you were trying to kill off the Washington Locals before which I agree with personally I'd look at splitting the 56 so you'd end up with three routes like this:
55: Newcastle to Washington
56: Newcastle to Sunderland
57: Washington to Sunderland
Then combine them together to give a 10 minute service on the combined parts with hopefully the extra passengers coming from what is the current Washington 'loop' being enough to make it sustainable.
20 minute is more than enough for the full route, I'd doubt there's that many crossing over Concord.
'Loop' being sarcastic as it turns around in Concord anyway so wouldn't be a change anyway.
