Same as in Newcastle, i'm not sure where the X34 stops in Newcastle other than the terminus bus stop.

X34 stops at John Dobson Street for alighting and also additionally at bottom of Pilgrim Street for boarding just before Swan House round about.  think the X24 will be missing a trick if it doesn't serve Gateshead. the X34 does and it carries a few people for Gateshead College and Trinity Square as well as a lot of local passengers between Gateshead and Newcastle only who have Stagecoach passes.
