If any other members have an old one to share, it would be appreciated.
I believe the old X5 took 35/40 mins Houghton - Newcastle up to the changes which saw it being a stopper between Easington Lane and Shiney Row. I think the current X1 is 45 between the same points.
Even now, that 45 can be a push, but the time it gets at the Galleries for changeovers seems to be add some time to the trip.
Stick a shorter lay-over in at either end and I can only see one result. Which is a shame, considering there's been all of this investment.
