New service to provide new fast links to Middlesbrough and Stockton from Sunderland, Seaham and Peterlee. This service will opetare hourly Mon to Sat and replace service S1 in Stockton.
X13: Blyth - Cramlington - Bedlington - Morpeth. This new route will replace service 43 between Cramlington and Morpeth.
X14: Newcastle - Regent Centre - A1 - Stannington - Morpeth - Longhorsely - Rothbury - Thropton. This service will be revised to serve Stannington recreating a link to Morpeth.
X17: Thropton - Rothbury - Cragside - Alnwick - Alnmouth Station - Amble.
New route providing a link with Rothbury.
X19: North Shields - Tynemouth - Whitley Bay - Seaton Sluice - Blyth. New route providing a route along the coast.
X20: Revised to terminate at Amble.
X14, X17 and X20 will all interwork on most journeys (although X14 and X17 will operate every 2 hours)
The X14 needs to be every hour to keep the every 15 minute frequency between Newcastle and Morpeth.
I'd have the X17 starting at Alnwick, connecting journeys with the X20 isn't something passengers will want travelling to Alnwick.
