Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(10 Sep 2021, 10:01 am)col87 The problem is the original X5 while not always did do well enough. When it got changed to the X35 the route simply took to long and was going against the train which takes about 20 minutes and the much quicker 23. The X6 was hardly giving a chance and again having it in overcrowded Hartlepool - Sunderland service was just stupid. If go north east tried a limited stop express to Newcastle it could work unfortunately the only idea they had in the last decade was trying to make a Hartlepool- Sunderland service work. They did try the X11 but it was a few journeys on a Saturday without any publicity so nobody really knew it existed so of course failed. I still think an express service done properly to Newcastle from Hartlepool and not the half hearted efforts that where the X11 and X55 it could work. That idea is simple as it just a slight variation and extension on the existing X1 and I could see it been used.
