It's longer the A19.
I know franchising isn't here but imo the X6/X22 should be merged, with one of them heading back to Darlington and the 55 restored by Hetton merged onto the 23.
ie like:
It's the way it was for years and is much superior than now. No offence to Peterlee town centre but it's a complete s**thole and is not the sort of place anyone wants to go unless they have no choice so terminating buses there is a bad place imo. The 32 is pathetically slow from the likes of Hetton to Sunderland aswell and is unacceptable imo.
It sorts out depot issues aswell since the X22 is running from Stockton atm and frees some space at Belmont to take some of the Durham area work ie. the 7/X12
