X11 - Newcastle - Gateshead - Chester-Le-Street - Durham - Darlington - Whitby - Scarborough
X11A - Washington Galleries - Sunderland - Peterlee - Billingham - Stockton - Middlesbrough - Whitby - Scarborough
Ngl I was thinking the same thing but not sure there's the demand though. Mind I'd change it around so it's
X11 - Newcastle - Gateshead - Sunderland - Peterlee - Billingham - Middlesbrough - Whitby - Scarborough
X11A - Washington - Chester Le Street - Durham - Sedgefield - Stockton - Whitby - Scarborough
The Newcastle route there from Newcastle would take hours via Darlington and I can't see them using it anyway as they could just do X66/X67 -> X93 on Arriva Day Tickets. The route the X12 takes omitting Coxhoe is by far the most sensible route imo.

The X12 is worse as you'd have two X12's in Middlesbrough like.
