Not gonna lie, I'd be trying to get rid of that personally. Just send the 51/52 around Harlow Green and be done with it.
The magical tour around Gateshead killed the service anyway, just get it back to the QE where people want to be imo and was for like forever.

Not sure there's much sense tbf, be a detour of a route and the 65/71 does the Seaham links anyway from most places. I know it's a bit off topic but imo extending the 37 to Seaham doing the 71 to the North of the town would be better if you wanted that sort of stuff. The links to Doxford Park are horrid from the South without doubling back via Sunderland and would create the Washington link anyway. Not sure it would be popular though tbf.
Mind you could make an argument for extending that to Newcastle though.
