The X23 suggestion it would probably be better to run it via the A167 missing Chilton and Ferryhill out and possibly stop at all stops en-route to Durham including Croxdale as it could possibly pick up some of the GNE X21 custom as looking on Google Maps it would take the same length of time as going direct via the A1(M) and going via the A167 would also be less miles.
ive done the 21 route before from Peterlee and never again, next time I get the 22 or 24 to Durham and board service 7.
