You could also extend other services such as the 30 & X20 to Newcastle.

It would massively strengthen Stagecoach's operations across Tyne & Wear giving Go North East some more competition in the process.

I would have to also agree, that they could merge a few services together, making more cross-city services.... hopefully starting with the Sunderland 18.
