I wonder if this layover will be removed, in favour of tighter turnarounds and extending the route, or if the X24A will be operated by gas buses (interworking with services 12/13)?
It'll be interesting to see if passenger demand has changed since 2013, when Arriva withdrew their X19 service due to low passenger numbers.

They could do that, no changes for the 12/13 atm though...they might appear later this week.
Wonder what route it will take out of Sunderland.......

Hopefully, i think it will, that's why i think the X24 is working for them, the network they have in Sunderland and Newcastle is decent, and with the cheap prices for day tickets, even better.
