The X12 journey time from Middlesbrough to Durham is 1hr 5mins in both directions so it would probably be a struggle to do it all the way to Newcastle in under 2 hours. Could probably fit Durham to Chester-le-Street though as there is currently a 45 minute gap in Durham between the X12 arriving and the X12 leaving Durham again and I'd say about 20 minutes to get to Chester from Durham.
Not sure what numbers would be like or how driving hours would especially on Friday / Saturday nights.
Would love to see the X2 run on a Sunday as the only bus I can get to Newcastle on a Sunday is the 21 which takes over an hour and to make matters worse for me one 21 leaves 1 minute after the 7 is due to arrive in Durham so I'm stuck waiting just under half an hour for one to Newcastle. See why I rarely do Sunday bus outings!
