That would be infinitely more appealing to me, and I think would have a much greater use. The X11 only really travels through places that already have easy access to the coast. For me in Bishop, it's a trek, and I can imagine it's the same for people in Consett, Stanley etc.
I wouldn't say its that much of a trek for those in Consett or Stanley. It's about an hour from Consett to Newcastle depending on what service you get. I grant that for Bishop it's more of a hit being about and hour and a half. Saying that, I live in South Tyneside and it can take me half an hour to get to the town from here and its only a few miles away! You can please everyone and whichever route they took, they were always going to pee someone off.
After all, Martijn has talked about this being a testing the water exercise to an extent so who knows what the future may bring.
