NO doubt most the time  56-63 will spend all their time circling East Gateshead while some leaky E400 are on X21

And The Volvo StreetDecks spend most of their time not on X20

How many times I've said this.....but a waste of muscle having an interworking pattern for the sake of Ellison Road bridge, when GNE could have all E400MMC at Riverside covering the X10 & X21.....plus the TVT on Sundays to conserve the B9TLs!

Any inefficiencies not interworking the X30/X31 with any of the Consett services will be ironed out by reduced lost mileage & breakdowns especially all the way in South West Durham from Riverside!

There's a reason why Arriva Ashington have E400MMC's on the Ashington & Alnwick 'X' work.
