Maybe a 7/8 minute service between Newcastle and the Galleries, with every alternate journey extending to Easington Lane.
I know i'm going back a while, must of missed this post but i agree... i use the 4 and by the time the X1 leaves the gall's its packed, the que is normally massive.. although i know the 4 and X1 work together so they arrive at the same to give easy connections for Newcastle/Heworth, its not really working on a morning from what iv'e seen, they can be quite bad.
Tuesday morning is an example, the X1 arrived, quite a few people got on and off, then the wait for the 4 was at least 5 minutes after... then 2 came at once, with 1 X1... meaning people had to wait for the next X1 because it was packed....
Sometimes the X1 leaves the gall's packed towards Eastington lane... so u can't win! haha
