Service X21 - to run to Cresswell and Ellington (1 per hour) via Cresswell Arms and Moor Estate (Seacrest Road) to give a direct link to Bedlington & Newcastle without changing at Ashington.
Here's mine:
- X31 (Monday to Saturday daytime every 60 minutes) serving: Cresswell - Ellington - Seacrest Road - Wansbeck Hospital - Ashington - Stakeford - Bedlington Stn - Bedlington Red Lion then same route to Newcastle as current X22.
- X32 (Monday to Sunday all day every 60 minutes) serving: Same route as X31 between Seacrest Road and Newcastle. Evening journeys would also serve the Cresswell Arms.
- X33 (Monday to Saturday daytime every 60 minutes) serving: Cresswell Arms - North Seaton Fairfield Drive - Ashington then same route as X31 / X32 to Newcastle.
- X34 (Monday to Saturday daytime every 30 minutes/ evenings and Sundays every 60 minutes) serving: North Seaton (eve and Sun only) - Ashington then current X22 route to Bedlington but to Glebe Bank rather than Red Lion then current X21 route between roundabout at top of Glebe Bank to Newcastle.
Core Frequencies:
- Newbiggin Front Street to Newcastle ether via Hospital or N/Seaton up to every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime.
- Ashington, Stakeford, Bedlington Stn, Red Lion and Hartlands to Newcastle up to every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime.
- Ashington, Glebe Bank (X34), Red Lion (X32) to Newcastle every 25 - 35 mins evenings and Sundays.
