Which begs the question. Why don't these destinations have 'Limited Stop' or 'Express' (or something of that nature) beneath Easington Lane/Newcastle?
Or even "Easington Lane" "Limited stop to Washington" (latter part scrolling bottom line).
All services which are registered as limited stop are in the process of gaining "express via" on the scrolling part of the destination display. I may have forgotten to do it for the X1, as this already shows "Eldon Square via", but it'll gain it eventually. Think the same will apply for the X9/X10 too, but I may have thought about that one a bit more as being an express!
The new destinations for services X70/X71 definitely show "Newcastle" on the top line and "Eldon Square express via X - Y - Z" on the bottom line. You'll see this from October 25th.
