I'm surprised for the expresses they arent diverting any via Grandstand Rd and through Kenton to Kenton Bar, as it could be quicker/shorter and maintain more links (but would mean Aldi & primary care centre wasnt served on Ponteland Rd). Presume X47, X77, X87 turn off to Kingston Park from Jct 77 while X87/X88 will turn right from J77 then right at Kenton Bar roundabout (i.e. X47/77/78 won't actually serve Kenton Bar roundabout, just the A1 roundabout, unless they're looping back on themselves to maintain links from that end?)
Aye just had a look at the tracking to confirm, seems like they are and skipping the Kenton Bar roundabout on the X47/77/78. ie. https://bustimes.org/journeys/937450935
God knows what's going on by the RVI, seem to be missing that aswell, not aware of anything there?
