I think their existing X24 model straight out along a major artery is part of what makes the X24 appealing to passengers. I still think there could be a market for an X24 variant to run from City Centre along Durham Road, calling at Doxford Park at peak times then on to Newcastle non-stop. There's no competition (bus or metro) to Newcastle along the length of Durham Road.
So like a loop service at Peak times?
Doxford Park - Sunderland - Hastings hill - Gateshead - Newcastle - Doxford Park? - Only at Peak times.
Maybe the X24A will be on seperate board, nothing to do with the X24, like Dan suggested.
