So you have could have for example.
X2 - Doxford International - Shiney Row - Washington Galleries - Concord - Springwell - Wrekenton - Gateshead - Newcastle
Operating upto Every 30 Minutes at Peak Times (6am to 10am) and (3pm to 7pm).
No Lambton?
I wonder if a route variation to the 37 would work - operating via Houghton and/or Newbottle and shadowing the X1, covering and filling gaps in its provision caused by rush hour delays.
Then punters have a choice of two services operating two different routes, rather than the X2 and 37 having a similar route.
