Perhaps retain the 30 min frequency on the X2/X1 interworking, but run two X1 only runs an hour.
There is a plan to improve the X1 further but we have a problem with the running times at the moment.... they're looking into it I'm told and should be sorted properly next time!
EDIT: The X1 is definitely the stronger of the two though so I would imagine this will be picked up on!
