I bet that the X71,X71A after these changes will cause their X-Lines status to go. Also X1B??

X1B,  I presume is the Haswell journey.

I'm not a regular user of the X10, but did travel on it again the other day to Newcastle and back and these always seem really busy.
Is it just me that thinks it would be sensible to go back to the days of the X9 and X10 every 30 minutes, with the X9 going to Billingham and Peterlee and the X10 to Stockton and Dalton Park?
I think the usage warrants it, and would give a quicker end to end journey time too.

I think many of us think the same but GNE clearly don’t think it will stand the cost (~£600k) of three extra buses and given the removal of the Sunday short journeys coming soon I don’t think they’ll be adding to it any time soon sadly.

Are many people going end to end though?

The X9/X10 cuts the intermediate links like Peterlee to Stockton or Billingham to Dalton Park for example, which I'm sure some people would want. 

imo it should've have been something that should've been looked at under BSIP, with a short Peterlee to Newcastle service and doubling the frequency of two major areas without a reasonable rail link or alternative buses unlike the other towns. Even if it was only peak times.

They just need to use bigger,.more powerful buses. On Saturday the northbound X10s regularly departs Stockton with virtually every seat taken

There seems to be quite a few going end to end, or near enough, there's always good loads getting on at Middlesbrough and Stockton when I've been on. Getting from Teesside to Tyneside on the train isn't always quick and easy, depending on when & where you're going, so a slightly faster bus would help.
Not sure what other double deckers are more powerful (or if that's the issue) or would provide much more seating.

Go North East make the decisions and I'm only commenting on what I've experienced - the other day I travelled on the first bus out of Middlesbrough at 6am and was surprised how busy even that one got. Just seems there's a perfect template there for expansion, by bringing back the old X9.
