Not from the area, so don't know passenger numbers and how its used
Problem with extending the 18 is that at both ends of the route it operates in a circle to turn round. I think you could extend it beyond Coundon to either Ferryhill to compete with the Arriva 56 and Scarlet Band 113 or Spennymoor like the DCC supported service 7 operated by Weardale. If you wanted to extend beyond Woodhouse Close you could extend it to West Auckland or to Cockfield too although this heavily covered by the Arriva 6 and the limited Scarlet Band 85.
