Couple of suggestions for Sunderland:
Arriva could extend service 23 from Sunderland to Durham via Durham Road-Doxford International-Houghton (but miss out Hall Lane Estate where GNE service 20 goes, but could go via Raintion Bridge then straight onto A690 to Durham or via East or West Rainton), this will help with driver changeover and not waiting over 30 minutes for the next driver to turn up with the service 24 coming in at the same time. Also workers from Hartlepool and East Durham area who has Arriva tickets to go to Doxford International.
Arriva could extend service half of the 7 from Durham to Sunderland while the other half of the 7 continue its full route. via the same proposed route as service 23 above. which will give more opportunity for Arriva day or week tickets for passengers having already purchased tickets from other Arriva services in Durham surrounding areas and having to purchased GNE tickets to get to Sunderland or Doxford International workers.
