Presumably that stopped or transferred as part of the Hexham/604 operations being taken over.To cut a long story short, they're were too clever by half and effectively removed two buses an hour from the peak AM timetable (what would be the 602) and we're surprised buses were overloaded by the time they left Ryton, which ended up with the 11X running.
When GNE took over the routes, they kept the 602 and 604 numbers, but changed the X66 to the X12, so that was clever....
