The passenger numbers on the 21 are strange, on one journey you can be carrying a fair few passengers and other times it can be dead. The other week, I actually got the 21 from Aycliffe - Sunderland leaving Aycliffe at 08:36 and 4811 was allocated and there was actually standees once we got towards Station Town until we got to Peterlee Bus Station (although there was a few seats still left). Think it can be busier at the times the East Durham College students tend to be travelling on the 21 as well. You also have the Harrowgate Hill - Darlington Town Centre section being pretty busy at times. X21 certainly doesn't get busy in my experience, in fact you're lucky if the numbers make it into double figures. No idea about the X22.
