I know. But the X30/X31 serves a purpose in giving passengers, in theory, a direct link between Newcastle, Gateshead and Stanley via the shortest route possible. I just think that any deviation via Kibblesworth would deter from the purpose of that particular service and that any additional service to Stanley (via Kibblesworth) would see little patronage beyond Kibblesworth therefore it might as well just terminate there.
Just looked on Google maps: the estimated time between the Potters Wheel and Kibblesworth is 7 minutes.
