For Example
X2 - Easington Lane - Hetton-le-Hole - Houghton-le-Spring - Fence Houses - Shiney Row - Washington Galleries - Springwell Village - Wrekenton - Gateshead - MetroCentre
GNE wouldn't do that sort of bus service, as GNE wants the passengers to get to their destination by what GNE says, theres a high frequency X1 bus service from Washington to Gateshead Interchange then transfer onto their own X66 bus service. Direct buses these days don't exist as its not profitable for the bus company, this is why there have these high frequency 10minute services from A to B and passengers have to inter lock there journey between these high frequent bus services.
