25 minutes from there on a bus or 29 minutes from Seaton Delaval and Callerton Parkway; 35 minutes from the Blyth stations and 40 minutes from Morpeth (via bus) from the bus stop to give the X40 the best chance on paper.
Just doesn't make sense to use it especially since it's a pain in the arse to get into the car park from the A1, you'd be well on your way into the centre of Newcastle and all the stations above are nearer the door to people's home.
The route map for the X40 shows it going through Cowgate instead of Gosforth, albeit running non-stop. I thought it would go straight from Great Park into Newcastle via Great North Road and Gosforth High Street. Presumably it will take whichever route is quickest and won't necessarily stick to following the route map. Be interesting to see what buses they allocate to it.
