Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(02 Jan 2022, 5:08 pm)MurdnunoC I can't remember the Leamside Terminator appearing anywhere in the Terminator franchise. What model was it? T800, T1000, T5000 etc.It's this:
I think I would genuinely love to see a fight between the Leamside Terminator and the West Rainton Predator. Perhaps someone could produce that movie someday...

(02 Jan 2022, 6:00 pm)MurdnunoC I was aware of the service.I know it got extended to Durham around 07, then to Bishop about 2009ish.
Before it eventually became a coach-based service operated by Go North East, it was operated by OK Travel largely as a Saturday (it might have ran a couple of other days too - I can't remember) shoppers service to the Metrocentre alongside service X27 which operated between Fishburn/Hutton Henry and the Metrocentre.
Considering neither incarnation of the service exists, I think it is safe to say it wasn't particularly well used.

Didnt the X22 serve Leamside, Carrville & Belmont at one point?

(02 Jan 2022, 6:36 pm)MurdnunoC Not sure about the X22 but there was an X2 which started at Belmont and went to the Metty shortly after deregulation.
There was a version of the X23 which started at Durham and served Carrville, Leamside and Great Lumley on the way to Newcastle but I presumed that was the one you were on about.

(02 Jan 2022, 6:41 pm)ASX_Terranova Theres this X23 which is dated april 06 or there's the one that is now the X21.

(02 Jan 2022, 7:13 pm)MurdnunoC Yeah, you're right, the X22 did serve Leamside at one point. That was when the X23 became a coach under some commuter-based branding nonsense. Can't remember whether that became before or after the failed X90.

132 - Edinburgh- Galashiels- Jedburgh- Otterburn - Ponteland - Kingston Park (Tudor Drive).
Since Kingston Park is seemingly where it's at nowadays, it's probably best to curtail the service there. If people want to go to Newcastle, they can get the Metro, the X40 or the 6 to Blakelaw then the X87/X88 from there.
(03 Jan 2022, 10:28 pm)Adrian Why would you renumber the Q3 to the X40? Its even less of an express to anywhere than the X66...
Isn't the 684 fully secured? If its not commercially viable during the daytime, I dont see why it would on an evening or weekend. Is there anything particular on the route that people would use at these times?
For the 74 - given they've axed one in favour of the other, I assume they've kept the variant that is being used? I'm not sure what the folk of Darras Hall or Ponteland in general would find at Kingston Park, that they cannot find in Newcastle itself? There's a Waitrose and a Sainsburys there.
