It would change to Q2 once it reached its terminus - Central Station
The website makes things look like this (to me anyway):
Q1 Gateshead to Newcastle via Quayside
Q2 Newcastle to Gateshead via Quayside, Heworth etc
change Q1 Gateshead to Newcastle via Quayside
and the cycle keeps going.
Obviously following points made by yourself, Citaro and others, this whole issue has been made a lot clearer and i thank you for it.

I hope it will still operate from stand D toward newcastle as it would be a faff boarding from stand M. To be fair I think Gateshead Interchange is badly designed anyway

It's been like that for a couple of days now.
It just says "Central Station" instead of "Q1 Central Station"

It'll be the same one I dropped Dan a note of, but they were already aware of it.
One thing I thing that GNE can improve on is the route maps for the timetable leaflets, they are simply a straight line with calling points unlike Ariiva who show the route as a proper map.
Go North East

Use the "Plan your Journey" (or words to that effect) section of GNE's website to see an actual map with the bus stops on - you can guess the route based on how close together the stops are in most cases.
The line-style map is just more printer-friendly and shows the calling points in a visual style more than anything else.
On the whole GNE timetables are OK, but they do need a proper map in each, like Arriva have. The straight line currently used is useless.

Couldn't resist! Sorry
I shouldn't reply (as it only encourages you to make these posts time and time again), but I will throw a spanner in the works here given that you "couldn't resist" - do you know a "Prince Bishops" branded vehicle was allocated to this run, or are you just assuming?
Does anyone know if the 11:29am X30 will be a Omnideka today?

I am guessing you mean from Stanley to Newcastle, and if so currently yes it will be, but anything can happen in 3 hours
