(12 Sep 2022, 6:46 pm)Storx I don't want to drag this into a suggestions thread but if you really want an express Newcastle services to Concord you'd be better extending the 4 as a replacement for the X56 and if you want a real Sunderland service, meddling around the Washington X1 into multiple services, not going to suggest them all but one of them could be the X1 as far as Washington then the 39B from there to Sunderland.Ages ago I suggested I think it was X1-X5 going through different areas of Washington.
You'd create links from Doxford Park and Gateshead/Newcastle in the process.
The 56 should be split into 3 services like this I suggested awhile back imo:
R1 - 56 (every 30 mins)
R2 - 56 (every 30 mins) Sunderland to Concord, 84/85 loop clockwise as far as Washington
R3 - 56 (every 30 mins) Newcastle to Concord, 84/85 loop anticlockwise as far as Washington
Washington needs work though imo, local services just don't work and it's the only place hanging onto them. What it doesn't need is more express services bypassing the place.
