The X1 will continue at 2 buses per hour.
In response we will secure a replacement 62A but departure times will likely change from the present timetable. We will also negotiate a contract with Go North East to extend 1 journey per hour on service 61 from Murton to Peterlee via Easington Lane and South Hetton (connecting at Peterlee with the retimed 62A). The intention here is to preserve some key links but frequencies through South Hetton will be reduced.
We will secure a replacement X62, same route and times.

I wonder what proportion of the £8.8m that Nexus has spent “saving services” in Newcastle/North Tyneside and now South of the Tyne (£4.5m plus £4.3m) has gone to GNE?
plus GNE will likely get whatever £millions that Durham spend.
