Then that's your 30 minute service with the Tanfield Lea section being covered by the X43 which will have its frequency increased to every 30 minutes from hourly - there's your current 15 minute service between Stanley and Metrocentre (although X43 and 44/44A don't really follow eachother). Mind you, if the X43 is timetabled to stop at anymore places (including the proposed stopping at all stops along Fellside Road), it may aswell just be renumbered the 43.
Then if you make the X43 any longer, you'll have people complaining about it not being ''fast''. I know some people complain to me about the X22 going through Birtley... ''Why doesn't it just go on the A1?''.
