So if the 21 was increased back to every 7-8 mins between CLS and Newcastle:
- 21 = 16x
- X21 = 8x
Total = 24x
If 21 stayed at every 10 minutes between CLS and Newcastle with the X21 going back to every 15 mins between Newcastle and Durham:
- 21 = 13x
- X21 = 12x
Total = 25x
It would mean a PVR increase by 1x but would depend on traffic flows etc. As mentioned, if demand was more there to Low Fell, Gateshead and Newcastle rather than hop-on/hop-off via Birtley and other stops, it would make more sense.
