Similar to the X21? For as many years as I can remember, the X88 has went on a scenic route, if they've been aware of issues on the A1.

Whenever I have used the X88 which is Very Rare it has used the above Route on all occasions, but Today the Driver went on one massive Detour to avoid the A1, but eventually joined the A1 off the A184 Slip Road at Dunston, as I said in my Previous post the Driver should of followed the X66 Route to the MetroCentre when on Askew Road, even when he was at Wrekenton he could of went down through Allerdene and joined the A1 at Team Valley which again would of reduced Lateness.
