It would make no difference for local passengers Hartlepool - Peterlee - Houghton and would give a direct service to Washington in addition to Newcastle. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantage - for passengers for Doxford Park and Sunderland from the section of X35 route past Peterlee to Hetton-le-Hole who would have to change.
Except for the additional 4 buses required for the X1 eh.......
