RE: Go North East
Purely speculation if gne were to operate the X21 & 18 out of chester, which for driving hours is do-able but I think with peak time reliability it'll never be combined, then the X46 could be sacrificed. As greg said weardales yard is chocker at the moment & they've won the 52/725 off jsb so thats another solo to fit in, so once the ok1 buses go then that'll free up a bit of space.
