X10 Newcastle-gateshead-heworth-east Herrington-sunderland - seaham -peterlee -direct to Norton - Stockton - Middlesbrough all in less than 2 hours
Quicker than x12
PVR 4 6043-46 with 6047 as spare
The x9 will remain the same at a pvr 4
6048--6071-6084
The interwork pattern
X10 Newcastle to Middlesbrough
30 mins layover
X9 Middlesbrough to Newcastle
Then back on x10
The x7 will be PVR 2 and will allow 5333 to transfer to riverside to replace 6084
Then with the x10 Sunderland to Newcastle via east Herrington it can allow service x36 to ternamate at downhill
Same pvr
Why go via East Herrington on the way to Sunderland? Surely it would be quicker going direct via the A184 between Heworth and Sunderland?
It's a no from me!!
