Buses would operate half hourly Monday to Saturday and later on, potential hourly evening and Sunday journeys. Service X89 would be operated by 3 Mercs of the Cobalt Clipper and operate between Blyth and Newcastle calling at Union Street, 12th Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Princess Louise Road, Newsham Road, Wharton Street, Winship Street and Newcastle Road. Buses would then operate non stop to St Mary's and Haymarket via A1061, A189 and B1318 straight into Newcastle.
There is a big gap in the market for Go North East in Northumberland due to the shocking services provided by Arriva, notably the X15/X18.
