I did just that, gave a suggestion.

No malice meant, just not a route I'd take personally. Connecting to a 30 minute service is never fun if it goes wrong especially at somewhere like CLS which is a bit grim. Least going via Sunderland you'd go more frequent heading home. 

Not much choice the other way as it's always the 6 whatever route you go, unless you want to pay a premium for the P&R. Not sure why it's not included in the tickets anyway tbh.
