That way people wanting their only bus to easington lane, south hetton, etc don’t have to spend an extra 10 or 20 minutes trundling around murtons estates to pick up two people who were probably standing on the through roads anyway.  The network in east durham and in general tbh really needs sorting out and this isn’t the way to do it.

See I think it should be a service from the South extended up personally 
Something like the 23 or X22 and run it direct to Dalton Park from Peterlee and then do a loop of Murton after rather than terminating there. 

There's always going to be a few people from the likes of Hartlepool, Wingate, Sedgefield etc who might want to go there and more fast buses from Peterlee to the place could never go amiss as the X6 is always slammed with something on the 55 line to restore the South Hetton to Sunderland links as the 35 is ridiculously slow from Hetton etc. 50 minutes, believe it is now, is unacceptably slow.
