RE: September Service Changes

And Other older buses should be replaced by brand new ones, especially when quite a lot of the time these new Xlines buses have 15-25 people on. The funding for since 2018 has been on Newcaslte/Consett and it seems to be like that for atleast the next 2-3 years. And I am not from Sunderland but anyone who has a brain cell can see that.
So you would prefer sunderland to keep their 4yo buses and for GNE to be charged £1000s to operate in newcastle? Sunderland has received investment in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Consett only received new vehicles in 2006, 2013, 2016, 2019/20

North Tyneside had quality vehicles for its passengers and yes I know we got them in Sunderland but that was a poor move for passengers up there. We have or will soon not have the 17 plate streetlites absolutely shocking from a passenger POV.
XLines IMO is a shambles!!!
X1 I get but why change 45 46 and 47 - I don’t believe these routes should be xlines. XLines should be limited stop only
No more limited stop than the X30/31/70/71/72
