- Service X38 operating every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime calling at Whitley Bay - North Tyneside Hospital - Billy Mill then limited stop to Newcastle Civic Centre, St Mary's and Haymarket only calling at Willington Sqaure. New day and weekly saver introduced allowing travel on the X38 between Marden (1) and Newcastle as well as all Cobalt Clipper services. The Cobalt Clipper savers would still remain but slightly cheaper due to not allowing use on the X38. This would also resinstate a faster link between Marden and Newcastle after the 44 was withdrawn.
The aim of my idea was to provide a Quicker Service between Wrekenton and Whitley Bay as it currently takes 112 Minutes (Almost 2 Hours) to go from A to B. Between Newcastle and Whitley Bay it takes 80 Minutes (1 Hour 20 Minutes) where as the Arriva 306 takes 62 Minutes.
