R.e.....I'd imagine any changes wouldn't happen until either the 19th or 26th January.
It doesn't need to return. The x10 has been around for 2 nearly 3 years (I think). There's no need to bring it back. If the X10 was made every 30 minutes it would work better. Idk why people have this idea of restore the X9 will help in anyway. Even if the X9 came back what would it solve. A split frequency again which nobody wants. Honestly I think the X1 needs to be rerouted to serve Dalton Park & Peterlee via the A19 as why introduced it back then and then cut it. It would save the 61 being actually used along that section. 55 was cut cause of the X1 going that way. Now u have the X1 & 61 serve more if not the same way to Peterlee and it's daft.
Anyways the X9 doesn't need to return. People have gotten used to the X10 and won't need the confusing of "which one serves Dalton & Which one serves Peterlee". Hell putting it lightly the X1 picks up more passengers on the Peterlee journeys.
Also the X1 & X10 imo shouldn't use the same stand at Eldon. The queue is massive and u don't know which people are waiting for which
