New Suggestion X9/X10 to Serve Washington Galleries. Given the fact it can be diverted through washington if high A19 congestion it wouldnt add much time on.

(02 Jul 2021, 5:24 pm)ifm001 Neither of those stop at Testos, nor do they run late at night or on Sundays . Fair enough X34 stops at Boldon but the X24 stops either side are Gateshead or Chester Road. Hell of a walk.Never knew they didn't serve testos always just presumed they did.

Return fares are possible on Little Pinks. The ticket machines give options for Heworth, Concord etc to be set even if the service in theory terminates at The Galleries. In theory, if someone purchased a return on the 82 from Birtley to Heworth, they'd be able to change to the next 84 at The Galleries and continue their journey. In reality, the journey isn't the quickest so the majority would use the 82 into Birtley then change to a 21 to get to Gateshead which off the top of my head would be quicker to connect to the Metro at Gateshead.

We need an alt service to the X1 for Washington - Newcastle. Something to allow the X1 to avoid recover from delays and busy services. The service could either go via the Metrocentre or Saltwell Park.

(03 Jul 2021, 11:43 am)Adrian A return portion of a ticket is single use, so the QR code won't work/be valid if you changed at the Galleries to continue your return, or your ticket will be punched, if that still happens. Customer services have previously confirmed to me that it is not a valid option.I didnt think there was a need to change buses, I thought the number changed once it got to galleries. Therefore no need to scan return ticket twice

(03 Jul 2021, 1:40 pm)Andreos1 They've tried it a few times in its previous guise as the 194.Did it not work because of reliability issues or not enough passengers?
As handy as it was, it never seemed to work and it reverted back to terminating at Heworth.
Ditto the 191. That never lasted long either. Although that may have been down to frequency and it shadowing the 194 and 294 for a large portion of the route.

(03 Jul 2021, 11:41 am)cbma06 Will it just add more time going via metrocentre or saltwell park? , should split the x1 into x1 and x2, x2 doing the old x94 route between Hetton bus station and galleries then non stop to concord then old x95 route to Newcastle , it would give passengers in concord area a faster service to Gateshead/Newcastle?
