- 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.
I think that would add around an extra 30 minutes to the timetable and that would take the journey time upto almost 2 hours each way which would also make it tight for driving hours too.
Also I'm not sure many people in Middlesbrough would want to go to the Washington Galleries.
