The X85 no longer runs to Newbrough because that section of the route was secured at the time, and Northumberland County Council wanted it to be a separate service.
Are the evening and Sunday trips on the X85 going to continue to run? With Versas allocated? Could we see Versas on the 74 soon? Perhaps the 74 and X85 could serve Central Station?
Would it be possible to extend the 42A to Kingston Park Tesco? Maybe run it along the M71 route to Westerhope? Nexus could secure the 42A from Dinnington to Westerhope via Kingston Park and Tesco Car Park and withdraw the M71? Hope to see the 42A stick around. Unfortunate the 42A can't be extended from Kingston Park into town, or maybe the M71 Kingston Park into town via Westerhope and West Denton Shops. 13 could alternatively run into town from West Denton Shops.
