(26 Oct 2017, 12:03 am)Ds1197 wrote X24/X34 interwork in Newcastle based at Walkergate bus depot with the X24/X34 current 19641-19644 and 24001-24003I've thought for a long time that perhaps X24 and X34 should now interwork as some of the layover time in Newcastle is a bit too long and with the gaps in service mid afternoon. However this can be done with existing depots, no need to move to Newcastle depots.
X34 will also serve Heworth for some early morning and evening journeys for contention to Teesside and Dalton Park.
X14 Hartlepool-Peterlee-Dalton Park-Washington Galleries-Heworth (Peak Time Only)-Gateshead-Newcastle every hour shared corridor every 30 minutes with X15 between Newcastle and Dalton Park
X15 Middlesbrough-Teeside Park-Stockton-Billingham-Dalton Park-Heworth (Peak time only)-Gateshead-Newcastle
These services would run at least 6 days a week
The frequency of the service would be
X24/X34 every 30 minutes
X14/X15 every hour shared corridor every 30 minutes these services would increase to Every 30 full route if popular.
X14/X15 would replace the current X55
