But then that would open all of the Stagecoach Newcastle and Sunderland network within 1 change of getting to Amazon.
Aye totally agreed to be honest. Would actually be an useful link and it's quite unique that it would have a peak flow in both directions which is quite rare where most routes are only towards Newcastle usually.
Could also maybe run some of the X34 boards along there, in particular in the morning ones towards The Nook (first X24 is 9am currently) and add a few late late runs with the X34 until say 11pm, could be enough to make it feasible to give it a later service which would be popular imo.
