The 169 wasn't the same as the 37 though. Two totally different routes.
The 37 came about after GNE removed the service to Biddick Woods and axed one variation of a Newcastle express, which extended to Seaham.
They did send the X1 (would have been the X5 at the time) in to Biddick Woods at one point. I say they sent it in - it was meant to serve Biddick Woods, but more often than not, they didn't bother.
