I would hazard a guess it would be longer to walk than you suggested.
Maybe worth making the 2a/2c standalone services and run one decker and one single decker.
Washington-bound, I made the reference to using the 4 as it would take 9 minutes according to Google Maps. I always find I can walk faster than what Google Maps suggests, so it would take perhaps 6 at the most for me. It will obviously differ for each person though, and for the elderly - the people who are most likely to complain without the current links they have using the Silver Arrows - it will probably take even longer than 9 minutes.
Sunderland-bound, which is what I was talking about in regards to walking to the nearest stop, 4 minutes. Again, more likely to be 2 or 3 minutes in reality.
Generally speaking, split allocations are a no-go really. Don't think there are any left (excluding the Centurion as it's not technically a branded split allocation), is there?
