The 6 and X40/X41 are awful routes though and make no sense, especially the 6. That would be much better doing something like: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.56259...?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDIxMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D with a second route dealing with the Yarm to Ingleby Barwick side, ideally not heading towards Stockton at all.
Bar around 100yds near the A66 the whole of that route is currently unserved by buses, especially in the Hartburn area. Absolutely shocking for an urban area imo.
Good point regarding Hartlepool Wynyard. The powers that be should have recognised this when creating the X40/41.
