RE: New service X11
To be fair the X11 service (and other seasonal services) are aimed at joe public rather than enthusiasts. In the case of the X11 it provides people with a direct link from Newcastle to Scarborough without the hassle of changing at Middlesbrough, worrying about connections, getting on an already busy X93. The Beamish service is aimed at making it easier for tourists to head from Newcastle to Beamish without impacting capacity on local services, still puzzled to why it serves CLS but it's up to GNE, and also gives the customer the gurantee that the bus is definatley heading to Beamish as it terminates there.
