Never thought of it like that to be honest mate...
A service omitting Gateshead, interesting, when I think about it, is every service leaving the Town obligated to stop at Gateshead, just thinking of your idea and adding to it
how does this sound, keeping with your original half hourly idea
X4 Newcastle-Heworth-Concord-Waterview-A19-Seaton Lane-Seaham-Dalton Park-Murton 1ph
X5 Newcastle-Heworth-Concord-Galleries-Houghton-Hetton-Murton-Dalton Park-Seaham 1ph
Just out of interest would your idea be a plain old Red Northern Operation, an extension of the Metrolink/Red Arrows or would it be part of an extended Peterlee operation like the WTX?
