Can't fault them.
I've only been on a Northstar bus 3 times, on the 643 from Whickham to Metrocentre Asda when they had that, and on the X18 and M43 on Boxing Day (same bus). On time, pleasant drivers and clean buses. Really good to hear your positive experience of Northstar.
Brilliant that Northstar introduced the new X22 and X43 services. Not been on them, but it's been on my list! Would be fantastic if they brought the X88 back, giving Concord and Washington a direct Metrocentre link again.
Unfortunately I haven't been on the 792 either, which is a reliable service as well.
Hopefully I'll get to go on the 18 when Northstar are running that.
