Also, don’t think it’s likely that 74 will be rebranded as Xlines. The current frequency is adaquete for a service like the 74 and doesn’t carry enough passengers for GNE to be putting more money into.
To clarify, the X3 would run limited stop between Regent Centre and Newcastle then limited stop from Quayside to Wallsend.
The 74 could go back to a two-hour frequency, it provides a vital service for many communities, hopefully it at least stays in existence! My Xlines logic was that it takes a similar amount of time as the X84, and it doesn't need to be frequent to be Xlines.
