Not many people are going to bother with a bus that runs twice a hour for that short journey, anyhow, when they have 5 times as many chances to use their return ticket with GNE. They'll probably put on a midi bus for people who want through ticketing to the far reaches of Newcastle and into Northumberland.
There's not a lot of slack in the X12 journey, so I can see why they're doing it - not as practicable to do what they did for the Durham bridge works, as the delay's in the wrong place.
