I wonder if they'd consider, if the X11 goes well, doing a similar service but from Durham instead.
That would be infinitely more appealing to me, and I think would have a much greater use. The X11 only really travels through places that already have easy access to the coast. For me in Bishop, it's a trek, and I can imagine it's the same for people in Consett, Stanley etc.
