(Today, 10:09 am)tvd wrote I'm not a regular user of the X10, but did travel on it again the other day to Newcastle and back and these always seem really busy.
Is it just me that thinks it would be sensible to go back to the days of the X9 and X10 every 30 minutes, with the X9 going to Billingham and Peterlee and the X10 to Stockton and Dalton Park?
I think the usage warrants it, and would give a quicker end to end journey time too.

Are many people going end to end though?

The X9/X10 cuts the intermediate links like Peterlee to Stockton or Billingham to Dalton Park for example, which I'm sure some people would want. 

imo it should've have been something that should've been looked at under BSIP, with a short Peterlee to Newcastle service and doubling the frequency of two major areas without a reasonable rail link or alternative buses unlike the other towns. Even if it was only peak times.
