GNE could terminate the 50 at South Shields South Pier and then back via Ocean Road, instead of going all the way down to Marsden. That would give the 14 enough time to serve Burnhope and they wouldn't even need to add a bus to do it!

Aye not sure about, the 14 doing it. Be a bit of a backtrack from Langley Park.

Agreed with it being awkward though mind. Truthfully I'd probably just look at running the 6 through all the time tbh. Doesn't make much sense having a Durham service on a Sunday but not the rest of the week. It'd probably have been a good use of BSIP funds really.
