There won't be enough demand for a direct service imo. Not on a detour via Washington and Dalton Park as it'll take too long.
Washington <> Seaham maybe, but imo an extension of the 37 would be better as it would serve Doxford Park aswell and it'd be quicker.
Maybe
X1 Newcastle - Washington - Doxford Park - Seaton - Deneside - Seaham - Parkside via Princess Road
I dont think getting the bus to sunderladn then metro is a very appealing option for many but only one bus would be.
