Going to hazard a guess that it will be down to Newcastle Pride as I think there is going to be a parade through the city centre again, last year when it was on no buses were able to get into Eldon Square and Haymarket with major delays to services as a result, so I'm assuming to keep the service to time Arriva have opted to terminate the X12 at Gateshead during the Parade.
