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.

If theres a delay in service either at Newcastle,York or Leeds then there going to be a knock on effect during the whole service. Isnt there a National Express does these long services. GNE wont put newer buses on the X7 until there see a success to the service, maybe if the service runs then it might make money, those buses shouldnt of been allowed on the X7 and l can see the service getting withdrawn before the year is out unless there put better buses on.
