I think it's obvious it's going to be using this service will use the 3 spare Optare Versas that come off the Saltwell Park/Drifter when the rest go onto the Washington Street Shuttle. And will be Operated by Saltmeadows... cast minds back to last week when someone said there was going to be a new service, but wouldn't say as they'd get told off by GNE on Bazza Houstons Group on Facebook.
Theres no such registration for this service on VOSA, and GNE wouldnt put a service like this as the Metro operates this areas.
Last registration from Go Northern on Vosa was PB0002400/493
There was something mentioned quite awhile ago about running a bus service between the 2 Airports (Tees Valley/Newcastle) connecting with Middlesbrough and Newcastle. Was going to be partial funded by the Airports, l think some journeys on the X10 was going to be extended each end to serve the Airports. Thought the idea was all frizzled out as it came to nothing in the end.
GNE 36/36A timetable online from 3rd June 2013:
http://www.simplygo.com/download/publication/51344.28
36 every 30 minutes
36A every 30 minutes
Dont think there will be a X36 as there is no registration for this service and the X3 will be twice an hour.
And looks like the 36/36A will be just Northern Branded.
