Whatever customers get fed up with what would end up being a 30 min increase in journey times between Newcastle and Peterlee will either consider buying a car or walking to Horden station and getting a train...which would still be faster than the X10. Newcastle to Peterlee appeared to be very popular when I last used the services, so I think it would be safe to not piss these customers off any more?
I think the X10 needs advertising about. under 25 day/weekly tickets being accepted
