(09 Jan 2022, 1:53 pm)Storx wrote Yeah there's been a few of them over the years, none of them have lasted really though mind I do believe X20 originally was one from Ashington which has lasted.When I first read it I thought you had replaced the R5 and gone Dipton, Burnopfield, Rowlands Gill then towards The Metrocentre. I was going to suggest an express version of either 709 or 728.
Not really it runs in the opposite direction pretty much yours going North East then North West whereas mine goes North West then North East.
tbh. The section between Durham and Annfield Plain will carry fresh air so changed them a bit.
X44 (X-Lines) - Lanchester to Newcastle via Metro Centre - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.82085...96!1m0!3e0 (Hourly)
6 - Current route to Burnopfield (30 Mins), then current route to Burnhope only (Hourly)
7 - Stanley to Gateshead via Tanobie and Lobley Hill - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/54.86812...c5!1m0!3e0 (Hourly)
X70/X71 - Restored to every 30 minutes between Burnopfield and Newcastle rather than the useless 20/40 atm.
X72 - Withdrawn
Restores most links, provides a quicker service from Stanley to Gateshead, Annfield Plain/Dipton to Metro Centre get their bus route back. Quickish service from Lanchester to Newcastle. Sunniside Estates get a bus to Gateshead to connect to new routes.
