(08 Jul 2015, 10:00 am)South Tyne Lad How long did it take from Easington to Leeds? Im guessing 4 hours or something.A forced visit to the loft earlier gave me a good excuse for a rummage through some boxes......
there's a few photos of the Lake District service and yes it did go to Kendal. At least that was operated by a coach!
4 hours on a DAF SB220 would be alright for me, Imagine a Dart on that service.
The X3 timetable from 9 Sept '95 looked like:
0810 Easington
0842 Guisborough
0905 Middlesbrough
0933 Yarm
1015 Thirsk
1055 York
1140 Leeds
Return journey departing Leeds at 1705 arriving back at Easington at 2030.
The X95 timetable from 25 May '96 looked like:
0810 Loftus Depot
0835 Guisborough
0900 Middlesbrough
0930 Darlington
1125 Keswick
1240 Kendal
1320 Morecambe
Return journey departing Morecambe at 1535 arriving back at Loftus at 2045.
Another one I'd forgotten all about was the X19. The timetable from 22 June '96 looked like:
0900 Saltburn
0915 Redcar
0940 Guisborough
0958 Stokesley
1030 Thirsk
1110 York
Return journey departing York at 1630 arriving back at Saltburn at 1825.

I'm assuming staff transport for 23 changeovers?

(09 Jul 2015, 10:36 am)palatine3833 I'm assuming staff transport for 23 changeovers?My comment was merely in jest, as I know how people like to put 2+2 together and come out with 16.
Is that the normal place for changeovers on the 23? I'd have thought they'd be optimised for changeovers closer to the depot, i.e. Peterlee?
