Today, I done this:
#17 1138 Rosehill to Wallsend 1148 - ANE 2831
Metro 1150ish Wallsend to Monument 1200ish - East Coast Metrocars
#52 1206 Newcastle to Four Lane Ends 1225ish - ANE 1411
#18 1228 Four Lane Ends to Byker 1247 - ANE 2821
#62 1250ish Byker to Newcastle 1255ish - SNE E400
#10A 1310 Newcastle to Metrocentre 1330 - GNE B9TL
#X66 1335 Metrocentre to Gateshead 1345 - GNE Merc
Metro 1350ish Gateshead to Monument 1355 - Emirates Metrocars
Metro - 1410ish Monument to Wallsend 1420ish - Refurbished Metrocars
#17 1424 Wallsend to Rosehill - ANE 2602
Problem is, X21s are always packed to the point that they're uncomfortable, and X25s can take forever, although I do like to mix it up and get off at Wrekenton then go for a 56 or X1 to Gateshead. I might do that on Saturday or something.
