Only reason I suggest this is because the X10 is currently going via Hartlepool due to the closure of the A19, and it seems to be adding 10 mins onto to the journey, so roughly 20 mins during the day time, this could potentially help GNE get back into hartlepool offereing a link that many dont have who wouldn't use the train.
Can’t see that happening, Hartlepool to Middlesbrough is stagecoach territory is was carved up years ago with agreement made between stagecoach and arriva, only reason the x9 operated in that area around billingham as GNE had a foothold when there purchased ok travel and there inherited the 212, which then was replaced by the x9 covering certain sections of the 212.
