Should've set it up to provide some competition with the X9/X10, with the cheaper fare offering and connections to other Stageciach services in area they would've been quids in, definitely would have taken from punters off of Go North East.
Should of been set up like this:
X55 - Hartlepool - Greatham - Billingham - Stockton - Dalton Park - Newcastle
X56 - Middlesbrough - Stockton - Dalton Park - Newcastle
