Could've shaved a good 15/20 minutes off there.Got to remember that the X11 isn't aimed at local journeys. It's aimed at punters from between Newcastle and M'Boro (not including M'Boro) having a day out. Anyone between M'Boro and Scarborough will most likely use the X93 anyways.
If GNE attracted local journeys, that could cause capacity issues.
