Restore the link to South Tyneside District Hospital and express route from Boldon - Washington - Chester le Street

Not sure there'd be much demand for an X50.

What needs sorting out is the mess which is Washington and let it go express or semi fast between CLS and Washington again.

The 22/81/82/82A farce is where the magical tour on the 50 should be part of imo since it's covering those services. There's been a million variants of those though. Generally the whole Washington service is crap though imo. Has to be the biggest place in Tyne and Wear where a chunk of the place doesn't have a connection to Newcastle or a 15 minute+ connection service. Rothbury has a better service than some areas!
