If they had the vehicle resource from the X2 as an interworking pattern, they could probably up it to 10 minutes again, with two an hour continuing to Newcastle as a new X6 service. I'd say it would have to work to allow for X12 passengers to still connect on to it at Durham Bus Station though, with through-fares being available. 

No, the 6 went from an every 30 minutes 6 to Cockfield and every 30 minutes 6a to Ramshaw to an every 12 minutes 6 to West Auckland with 2 an hour to Cockfield. However, should Sapphire increase loadings and income, not beyond the imagination for it to go to every 10 minutes to West Auckland and every 30 minutes to Cockfield.
