I like your suggestions Adam! - I think rather than having the X1/X1A the way you said, the X1 could continue it's same route every 15 minutes, and X1A every 30 mins to Seaham (Newcastle-Gateshead-then express to Washington, Fence Houses, Houghton, Hetton, Dalton Park and Seaham). This would provide additional links!
Also, not sure about the X4, won't be used enough in my opinion!
Overall, well done though! - I love your thinking!

Thanks, I spent about an Hour in a bit looking through the Timetables and then putting it all together to provide the best solution around it, The Current M2/M3/W5/W6 was the Nightmare Part to try and get to work correctly. Obviously in the form I've put it in the Service loses the Connection to Heworth. So by putting in the X4 that connexion is then maintained, I think a quicker service would be welcomed also.
In it's current form I think the M2/M3 take just over an Hour to do Birtley to Heworth, whereas my new X4 would take Half that.
I'm not sure about the Seaham Link as we've had it in the past with the X90/X94 in the Early 2000's and also the old X4 which ran in 2009 I believe when the Service ran via Concord and Heworth, and was Withdrawn due to Low Passenger Numbers.
But I think in my head when working it all out and if it was to Interwork, it work very well. I'll try and come up with some other regarding the M2/M3/W5/W6 over the next few days.
