If not sure, the best thing to do is to ask the driver as I nearly made the mistake of boarding a 64 in Durham a couple of weeks ago which was going to Musgrave Gardens when I wanted to go to Tesco Extra and needed the Sherburn one. Luckily I asked as I assumed both 64s went the same route as I’m not really that familiar with Arriva’s routes as I rarely travel on Arriva buses.

I think that's a good example to use.
Experienced in travelling by bus(although not too familiar with Arriva), using a bus with slight variations.
If you got that Musgrave Gardens run, you have the advantage of it dropping you not too far from Tesco.
That old person on the X21 will have another bus ride home (2 if they get the X21 back to Chester!).

I reckon that Musgrave Gardens/Sherburn one is an easy fix though. They just need to go back to seperate route numbers.
