Comments/views welcome.

Great report, I really enjoyed reading that - thanks for sharing! Hope you make some more reports in the future  

Just looked at the new 684 timetable, and it's good to see the 685 journeys included. I noticed the wording is 'At the moment, single and return tickets can only be used on the route for which they are bought'. This suggests that something may be in the pipeline to have mutual ticket acceptance?

Also, just a note on your point about coordination of the services. I think the coordination is more aimed at Heddon-Newcastle, rather than Hexham-Newcastle. I'm not sure what the best approach would be here, but I guess it's either one or the other based on the timings and different routes of the two services. 

I still however feel like the X85 is a victim of the X9/X10 coaches not working out - maybe it would still be here if not?
