Round it to 20 for ease at an average of 30secs per stop.
Roughly half of those stops were used on the x5.
The 62mins from Easington Lane is optimistic at the best of times.
Many a time I have done Houghton - Newcastle (or vice versa) and it has taken an hour just for that stretch.
62 mins Newcastle-Easington Lane, I have done Newcastle-Hetton many times in 58 minutes, add another 7 or 8 to that and it is closer to between 65-70 up to the Lane, a question about the Red Arrows branding, it's external branding says Hetton-Houghton-Shiny-Washington and so on, it does not say Easington Lane, are GNE ashamed of the fact they goto E.Lane, heehee, I mean I would be ashamed of the place, it is like the toilet off trainspotting a manky shitehole
