Go North East X75 - Newcastle to Belsay Hall
X75 will depart from Stand R in Haymarket Bus Station
Service runs every Saturday & Sunday
First bus service is 9.30am then every 1 hour 30 minutes till the last bus out of 16.00 (out of Haymarket)
First bus out of Belsay Hall is 10.23 then 11.53 and every 2 hours after that till 16.40
All information can be found on bus org
The X75 has a proper designed timetable now on the Go North East site:

Interesting the timetable has a Omnicity on it, is that what'll be allocated?
Possible. It wouldn't surprise me Percy Main run this service as they have a few OmniCity they could use
The timetable leaflet looks great. Lots of good info on there.
Its not clear whether Go Zones tickets are accepted though, given the non-member day return is the same price as an all zones ticket.
Edit: confirmed with GNE CS that they are.
Why does this service depart from haymarket when the 74 & SNE's X77/78/79 use eldon square and all of those go to similar areas.
Easier to use. Plus it's a summer service. It would look out of place and confusing to some people

(28 Jun 2021, 11:28 am)Adrian I don't think you need to draw parallels between the two. One is a funded express service, aimed at getting visitors into Belsay Hall, Castles and Gardens, with a very limited weekend service. The others serve as a means of getting people from their communities into a City (or Town) centre for work, retail or leisure.
For that reason, it's probably sensible to keep them apart.

Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations aren't exactly miles apart, plus the stands are lettered in a combined series too.
Had a feeling Percy Main depot would run the service. Wonder if we will get Coasters or Cobalt & Coast buses on there at some point

Anyone know what passenger numbers were like on the X75 last weekend? Hopefully they will improve this weekend. Could a better vehicle be allocated?
More passengers on the X75 this weekend. A better vehicle would be an improvement for this service.

(10 Jul 2021, 2:33 pm)Dan What else could you put on it?
It has to be a single-deck bus due to the low hanging trees at Belsay Hall. The Scania OmniCitys are (until the Streetlites are ready for service once the drivers receive familiarisation) the only suitable buses which are based at Percy Main.
The Scania OmniCitys have free Wi-Fi and high backed seating.

A bus would be a good option for this route.
Lothian of Derwentside put buses on their routes, as do Arriva, Stagecoach, and, sometimes, GCT allegedly.
I mean, a bus is a bus at the end of the day, right? No expensive paint necessary.
Does anyone know if the X75 will run again this summer? I used it twice for Ponteland last year but never got to Belsay Hall. The service could stop along Ponteland Road providing a limited service in West Newcastle, on weekends. 684 used to run on Sundays years ago, hopefully there will be a service on Sundays aside from the 12/12A, 33A and Q3.
