(02 Jan 2014, 8:21 pm)andreos1 The upper deck front seats are the best seats on a bus as a passenger. Even little kids heading out for the day realise that from a young age too.
I imagine the journey on the x70/71 on a decker, is much more enjoyable than the back of an Omnicity.
Not so sure about the seat by the door at the front of a Citaro mind...

So when X35's usual depart at :00 & :30, at peak times I'm sure they depart at 4:35, 17:10, 17:40 etc. so on these journeys the bus that arrives having worked the X35 to Sunderland can then go back out onto an X35 to Hartlepool as opposed to operating the X36 out to Newcastle. This would then allow an X36 to Newcastle at these times to continue onto Hylton Riverside after reaching Park Lane.
Quite possibly, if the B9's are out on Sunday which hasn't officially been confirmed yet.

(03 Jan 2014, 8:08 pm)legend If the X35 and the X36 are to interwork, why not just make it a through service:
X35: Newcastle - Gateshead - Heworth - Wardley - Downhill - Southwick - Monkwearmouth - Sunderland City Centre - Doxford International - Houghton-le-Spring - Hetton-le-Hole - Easington Lane - South Hetton - Easington Village - Peterlee - Hordon - Blackhall - Hartlepool

(03 Jan 2014, 8:11 pm)Kuyoyo You want to pay the money to fit 9 buses with tachographs plus a few of the red spares as back-up? Unless you did advertise a through connection but have it as a split service to avoid the need for tachographs as per the X7.

You never no, someone might get a shot of a new decker, and a solar together, been a great shot! More chance of winning the Euromillions but you never know.
