Not sure now, in all fairness, Stagecoach haven't had a service like this for years, so it could start anywhere, still think they would want it to start in a area which will allow them to get a decent amount of passengers though....
Route example could be:
Thorney Close Shops - Grindon - Hastings - A19 - Newcastle
To me, the only competition would be around Grindon/Hastings Hill as they have the 2/2A to the Galleries then the X1 but i think if people notice that the X24 (we shall call it that until confirmed) will be a lot quicker.

Where do u think it will start?

Don't look at those changes yet, have a feeling Stagecoach will launch a surprise on us by end of week
