Also why was the number: 11 chosen for the new Blue Arrow 11, could not of been allocated a different route number?
0704 #10X (Prudhoe - Newcastle) - X66 Streetlite
0708 #10X (Hexham - Newcastle) - TEN Volvo B9TL
0716 #10X (Prudhoe - Newcastle) - GNE Red Volvo B7TL
1652 #10X (Newcastle - Prudhoe) - GNE Red Volvo B7TL
1722 #10X (Newcastle - Hexham) - TEN Volvo B9TL
I think it makes sense numbering the new Blue Arrow as 11, as it's a (marginally) faster version of the 1 service, between Wallsend and Gateshead.
