Northumberland Park-Percy Main is a complete waste of time, if people are travelling between Cobalt and Newcastle, they'd probably go for the cheaper (and quicker!) option of a 58X/X9/X39.
http://Seaham-Sunderland isn't too bad, ...fan of it.
Hate the one to the west end of Newcastle/Metrocentre/Team Valley, a irrational idea in my opinion.
I dont see the point in extending to Seaham, if the service, was direct to Newcastle, would it offer quicker journey times than Northern which is about 35-40 mins at present, It could possibly compete with the 60 for journey time...
What about a direct Sunderland-Shields link, could that compete with the 35 and E1/2/6...
To be honest I would look more into it before I decide I hate the idea completely...
I wonder if this will end up being Project Orpheus MkII and quietly abandoned, never to be seen again
