Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
Enviro 400MMC's for the X10
(30 Jan 2022, 2:39 pm)Omega54 Yeah, maybe I don't think it will be 20 mins, maybe 15 however it is already 30mins slower than the train, which means if u just miss a train, and their is a X10 in 30 mins u might aswell wait for the next train.Google Maps says 15 mins by car between Dalton Park & Seaham A19 slip road via Byron Place, so I've added 5 mins to factor in slower acceleration and stops.

Newcastle to Peterlee appeared to be very popular when I last used the services, so I think it would be safe to not piss these customers off any more?
Also if they advertise that Under 25 weekly/day tickets work on the X10, and they need to get the bus from the train station then..more passengers, as I didn't know they worked untill very recently and it always stopped me getting the X10
