My suggestion would be the X2 running alongside the X1 with it the same between Newcastle and Washington but then limited stop to Dalton park via Houghton Le spring and Easington Lane. Then from Dalton park to Hartlepool via A19 Hart Village, Bishop Cuthbert estate and Throston Grange. x2 would operate every 30 minutes to Dalton Park and every 60 to Hartlepool. This would replace two of the Current X1 services
GNE seems tried many times to Hartlepool after the X5,
while both the Fast Cat X35 and the WearExpress X6 could not last...
