However I agree, most of the complaints are that a lot Consett services especially the ones Via the Metro into Newcastle are late.
Thsi was a few weeks ago, but someone I know told me that they were stuck on the X46 from Metrocetnre to Newcastle for 45 mins.
If a major RTC happened on the A1 or A19, the X21/X10 would get caught out even with layover in Newcastle.
