I noticed he mentioned something on the lines of expresses calling at stops they wouldn’t usually to help spread out passengers, which reminded me I had a question to post here.
The other day I was waiting for a bus to work from Gateshead Team Street and an x46 was approaching. I wasn’t going to put my hand out as I thought since the 45, 46 and 47s became Xlines expresses they ran non stop between Newcastle & Metrocentre. However, at the last second I happened to glance down and see (to my surprise) that the X45, X46 and X47 were all listed on the information board as stopping there, which made me wonder why I’ve previously seen some green streetdecks’ destination screens saying ‘Non stop to Central Station’?
My friend was at Team Street and tried to catch an X47 only because it was due a few minutes before the 10A and they didn't stop, they just drove straight past, not even acknowledging that they don't stop there.
