According to the timetable the 8:05 Stanley to Lanchester 30 operates via St Bedes, very similar to what the X31 does now, I'm assuming it will be a decker for the students, meaning the return journey up to Stanley will be the same vehicle?

Most of the day time runs will be operated by "Venture" branded Solo SRs, and the 08:05am run is one which will be allocated a Solo. New scholars service 831 is designed to replace the student link from Stanley to Lanchester, but there will be a few peak-time journeys on service 30 will operate through journeys to Newcastle as services X30/X31 (which exist primarily for commuters). These journeys are as follows:

AM
- The 06:10am #30 service from Lanchester to Stanley (arr 06:37) will form the 06:41am #X31 service from Stanley to Newcastle, and should be allocated a "Northern" branded Scania N94UD, as it later works services 6 and X70/X71.
- The 07:10am #30 service from Lanchester to Stanley (arr 07:37) will form the 07:43am #X31 service from Stanley to Newcastle, and should be allocated a "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCity, remaining on services X30/X31 for the rest of the day.
- The 07:13am #30 service from Quaking Houses to Stanley (arr 07:22) will form the 07:28am #X30 service from Stanley to Newcastle, and should be allocated a "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCity, remaining on services X30/X31 for the rest of the day.

PM
- The 16:30 #X30 service from Newcastle to Stanley (arr 17:11) will form the 17:17 #30 service from Stanley to Lanchester, and return, and should be allocated a "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCity.
- The 17:35 #X30 service from Newcastle to Stanley (arr 18:13) will form the 18:18 #30 service from Stanley to Lanchester, and return, and should be allocated a "Toon Link" branded Scania OmniCity.
