I didn't fill in the GNE consultation as none of the proposed changes really affected me, the X22 was about the only thing that irked me as it was quicker, X22 took about 45 minutes from Durham whereas the X12/X21 take about 40 minutes to reach Gateshead and then about 10 minutes to reach the Metrocentre which sounds not too bad until you factor in having to walk most of the way round the Interchange to reach the X66 stand (cutting across past the X10 stand is too damn tempting) and then a wait of up to 10 minutes so realistically it can be around 60 minutes once you factor in the connection times.
Also didn't bother with consultation as knew whatever I put would fall on deaf ears regarding the X22 in particular.
So it would take you minimum about 1 hour 20 mins.(10 mins wait Durham & Metro)
