It doesn't bother me, I should be grateful that I still have a bus service which passes my house which gets me to Newcastle without having to change buses. I also use the X21 to get me to an easily accessible part of Plessey Woods with the family.I've actually had a rethink about that and I would just keep the X22 as it is now as it has worked well. The X21 however could do with a far quicker route particularly for people who live in Newbiggin again, meaning that they're less likely to add pressure onto the X20 by getting an X21 or 35 and changing in North Seaton or Ashington.
Some of your suggestions were to DOWNGRADE service X22 to MAX. This would be a massive step BACKWARDS for Ashington, Stakeford and Bedlington.
