imo any Newcastle links, should be on a merged 21/71. I don't expect anyone to use it end to end but the bits inbetween might want a link.

Something like:
21A: Newcastle to Seaham -
21B: Newcastle to Dalton Park -

Both hourly, giving a 30 minute service to Fencehouses and Great Lumley where the direct bus to Newcastle would actually be appreciated with links to Seaham and Dalton Park from CLS and vice versa which some people might actually want.

If the 21 can't maintain time or service without being heavily regulated or plagued with cancellations - how do we expect a mammoth route like this to cope? 

Is there any proof people want links to Seaham or Dalton Park? Chester is 9 minutes from town on a train, Arnison and MetroCentre are very accessible. It feels like an old Malarkey Marathon
