Thank you for the link. I expect another new ticket will be introduced for the X75?

Bit of work for the "Voyager" vehicles possibly?

Lol,comical,thats all i have to say

Direct route according to google maps is under 50 mins and goes near Ponteland. Wonder how long it will take.

Saying nothing

What route will this new service take from Haymarket to Ponteland? X77/X78/X79, 74, 808 route or something else? Hopefully it will be a success.

Exactly, cant stand people who say something then not elaborate. Same reason  I came off fb. Too many people attention seeking

Being the X75, I expect it will follow a route similar to Stagecoach's X77/X78/X79 and do Haymarket - Cowgate - Airport - Ponteland, but as it's a Go North East service it might follow the 74 route but limited stop and do Haymarket - Westerhope - Callerton - Ponteland. Does anyone know yet?

Does anyone know what it'll be allocated?

It will have to be a single decker, as I'm sure that deckers can't enter Belsay.

A Solo would probably suit it. Can't see there being huge numbers of passengers using it unless there's a major event.

Tynedale Links Solo SR? I don't expect there will be much demand, I'm not sure why the service is being created.

Are English Heritage supporting the service? (I did think it was linked to the horse trial events they have but that’s one weekend in June).

I’d guess this is also dependent on social distancing being relaxed somewhat as at the moment entry to Belsay is ticketed with a set time.

So is this new X75 definitely going to happen? If so, will it only be stopping at Haymarket, Ponteland and Belsay. How limited stop will it be?

I'm keen to know what route this X75 will take. Maybe it will follow the X84/X85 route from Newcastle to Heddon on the Wall, and then go to Ponteland from there? Logically it should follow Ponteland Road, but GNE don't run any services along there, bar the 42A which doesn't come from Newcastle. Even though its limited stop, it might serve the X77/X78/X79 stood along Ponteland Road, or the 74 stops if taking Stamfordham Road.

Does anyone know what tickets will be available/valid for travel on the X75?

No idea why this X75 is being introduced just for weekends for less than 2 months. Combined with the 74 it could be permanent, even though I know its not contracted and the 74 is.

Five trips each way, but no timetable published yet. Hopefully the service does happen and is successful.

I guess information will be released when GNE are ready to.  Asking the same question over and over on a daily basis will not make GNE hurry themselves.

Fair point. On this occasion I was suggesting it might actually follow the X84/X85 route to keep all of the expresses aligned, even though the X75 won't be X-lines. Just interested which route it will take, and if the service will actually stop along the route, as it might not even have a set route if running non-stop to and from Ponteland. I don't expect it will follow the route of the 808 to Belsay, going through Fenham and Cowgate (even the 808 runs as set down only between Newcastle and Cowgate). Best guess would be Ponteland Road, but no idea whether or not it will pick up/set down on route. 

For tickets, I expected a new ticket will be introduced as Belsay is a new destination, but now think maybe GoZones will cover it, with all zones required for the purple and yellow of Newcastle and Ponteland.

GNE should release more information to get interest before the service commences in just over a month's time.  Timetable being the main thing required. With the pandemic still ongoing, I'm not entirely convinced the X75 will happen. My apologies for being overly interested, just so excited for a new service I'll hopefully be able to make use of. Of course we don't know anything until GNE releases more details, but I thought it might provoke some discussion, and see what others think about possible routes and tickets.

What depot is likely to operate the X75? Riverside? Percy Main? The lack of information from GNE on this new service is concerning. I was thinking, could the X75 be made permanent if the demand is there when it operates temporarily? Even just a weekend only service, but permanent. Just thought maybe it could replace the 74 on Saturdays, and run on Sundays to provide a bus where there currently isn't one (either side of Hexham, there is only the 10 serving Hexham and Newcastle on Sundays).

Most likely depot is Riverside seeing as its closer to Newcastle I'd say

Doesn't start till 3rd July, GNE haven't been putting updates on till a few days before so this will likely continue.

Not a complaint, but surely GNE should generate some interest more than a few days before a new service gets introduced. Particularly things like a timetable, so people can make plans. Honestly, I predict further local restrictions and doubt the service will happen, but I hope I'm wrong and the service proves a success and is made permanent.

I agree. Riverside most likely, then Percy Main next most likely. Are you going to ride the X75?

Maybe they are going to use a Routemaster on the X75 if not probably a Streetlite or Versa. As for the routing, I expect it to be the same as the 808.

Seriously? I'd expect a Tynedale Links Solo, or maybe a Streetlite if Riverside are operating it. Why do you expect it will be the same route as the 808?

808 runs through Belsay village and it goes via Ponteland. I doubt the X75 will go around the houses.

Might be the voyger decekrs or the voyger coach or is that not allowed
