Stretching out of the "North East" network there a bit too :L
Would be nice if it could happen but don't think so!
If Arriva can send E400's all the way up to Berwick on the X18, then I don't see how the Gemini's would struggle making York and Leeds.
The fact that GNE's TTX Geminis are suffering already on the X9/X10 services... How many times have you witnessed one be off-road whilst being repaired or something similar?
Newcastle to Berwick is about 40 miles less than Newcastle to Leeds... 80 miles in each direction is massive, and in fact, is the same equivalent as a round trip of the X9/X10.
