Sometimes however the numbers can be misleading. The 308 is faster than all the MAX buses Newcastle to Blyth
BIB: No it's not - 308 is timed for 1 hour Blyth-Newcastle, 5 minutes slower than the X7/X9/X11 and 7 minutes slower than the X10. The only one it is quicker than is the X8 (1 hour 8 minutes). 308 actually takes 1 hour 3 minutes Blyth to Newcastle.

X7/X9/X10 are still quicker:
X7/X9 take 53 minutes
X10 takes 52 minutes
X11 takes the same time as the 308.

Great. You can get there in 54 minutes, if you can wait until midnight...
Prob get there even quicker as the driver will want to go home, or there's no passengers.
