Maybe it could run same as X7 between Sunderland and Station Town and 21/21A route between Peterlee and Fishburn then run via Bishop Middleham to Ferryhill but would probably not be good for passenger numbers either.
They still have The OK Way around Bishop Auckland on service 18.
I partly agree with you mate...
It would not be used by people going the full route, based on my suggestions it may be used for hops from say Sunderland-Haswell and Trimdon/Coxhoe/Doggy to Spenny/Bishop..
People from Sunderland would not generally go all the way Bishop and vice versa, put, say, Dalton Park on the route, and that may get custom from different places along the route.
While in theory, it looks a good idea, putting it into practice is a whole different story, the X20 ended up being pulled, it did not last 5 minutes.
