- Frequency of Both Services Remains the same
- Reliability of Vehicles on the Service Improved
- Less Strain on the Vehicles due Excessive Motorway Work
- Delays to Service Reduced by not using the A19 as much
- New Links to Peterlee, Stockton and Middlesbrough from Washington Galleries
- Service X1 Reduced to Every 15 Minutes
Obviously there will be some time added to the Service, which would result in a PVR Increase, hence why the Frequency of the X1 is Reduced.
Is that similar to the old X5, only difference being it goes to Boro and not Hartlepool...
As for the time increase, would punters not be put off by it and start using the train, the X9 and X10 are both timetabled to be as quick as, if not a few minutes quicker than the train
