This new service will provide cross-regional links to various tourist and retail locations and will replace the X22 which will be withdrawn.
sunniside and whickham don't need any more links. X22 serves Birtley from Barkow Mow to Coach and Horses and is well used. Don't say can use any bus to Gateshead and change as that would be adding more passengers to an already under served area.
