I think Go North East should introduce a new service from Newcastle to Darras Hall, in competition with Stagecoach. It should operate via Kingston Park (to compete with the X47) then to Newcastle Airport, Ponteland and Darras Hall (in competition with the X78/8/9).
In Newcastle, I reckon the passenger numbers would be bigger if it operated in Newcastle via the X40 route (stopping at St Mary's Place, John Dobson Street, New Bridge Street and Blackett Street) taking passengers to a number of stops in the city.
