'Docking' morning and afternoon services in the according direction to acommodate has been in the game for a while now. Not only happens to the X1 but also the Cobalt Clippers:
AM:
- 0725 X39 to Cobalt then light to New York before running a 309 to Blyth at 0754.
- 0755 & 0825 X39s to Cobalt then down to Middle Engine Lane to run 310s to Shields at 0824 and 0854.
PM:
-1559 & 1632 309s that arrive in Blyth run light to Cobalt and work the X39s at 1635 and 1705 (1605 is normally a red shed). This means that the 309 then only runs mostly every 30 minutes between Blyth and Cobalt section of the route.
- In situ, the 310s which depart North Shields at 1626, 1656 and 1748 terminate on Norham Road then run light to Cobalt Village Hotel to operate the 309 at 1645, 1717 and 1810. This then means that the 310 runs mostly every 30 minutes between Norham Road / Darras Drive and Newcastle.
