Route would be as follows
Heworth - A184 Felling Bybass - Lingey Lane - Northumberland Way to Peel Retail Park - A1231 to Washington Galleries - X1 Route to Easington Lane - Continues from Easington Lane via X35 Route to Peterlee.
- Note doesn't stop at Easington Lane, this simply a via Point.
I'm trying to make sense of your suggestion Adam, I really am
40-45 between Heworth-Peterlee via Washington is quite optimistic in my opinion, I would suggest it is closer to an hour, looking at current timings it is currently
21 minutes Heworth-Washington on the 4, shave a few minutes off that because your suggestion does not include Concord
16 minutes Washington-Houghton on X1, again shave a few minutes off
28 minutes Houghton-Peterlee on X35
I know you said limited stop, at best you would shave off a few minutes from each part of the journey
Let's say:-
Heworth-Washington: 18 Mins
Washington-Houghton: 15 Mins
Houghton-Peterlee: 25 Mins
All together the time would rise close to 2 hours
Newcastle-Peterlee would be close to 90 minutes and about 40 minutes...
I do like the way you think though, and I do like your enthusiasm and the thought you put into your suggestions and would love to know how you comeup with ideas...I will never forget your idea for a service to Gretna and Dumfries
