it would be better now and for timekepping to keep both x24 and x34 every 30 mins but interwork at Newcastle changing terminus to one of the bus stations giving both services double decker routes.

Heard gas buses for the X24, although now it seems they don't offer "Gas" on the new E200/300 bodies for single deckers....... 

Not sure how true that is though, hopefully the order will appear soon.


X24 could get Gas buses off the 3,12,13,16 or 20, if any of those buses get new buses, however if any were to receive gas deckers, i would think the frequency would drop, so every 15 minutes on the 16 etc.
