Something else have seen a few times in the last few months is the X1 terminatng short at Hetton, although that is probably to do with trying to keep to time
couple of suggestions on the 4,X1 and proposed new X2
service 4 original route to Houghton Church via Herrington Burn and Newbottle then from the 10 minute frequency extends every 30 minutes along the 71 route to Chester-Le-Street (71 withdrawn), then every 30 minutes extended upto Hall lane estate, then the other every 30 minutes to Npower building.
X1 stays the same but on a 20 minute frequency
X2 same as the X1 but on 20 minute frequency, same route as X1 between Newcastle and Shiney Row, then diverts to do the old 4 route between Shiney Row and Houghton Church then same route as X1 to Hetton Interchange and have the X2 terminate at Hetton Interchange due to the bus service running longer due to via Fence Houses section, as between Hetton Interchange and Easington lane there is a 30 minute frequency on the X35 and a proposed 20 minute frequency on service X1.
