I think otherwise on this as the vast majority of passengers would get on the faster of the two services particularly for the main stops along the route which are Sunderland, Houghton-Le-Spring and Durham with the X20 pulling a lot of those off the 20 which would mean a Solo would not suffice at all.
You can guarantee that if both pulled in together at the same time at Park Lane, Houghton or Durham passengers would get on the faster route, I know I certainly would unless I was wanting the latter which stops at a stop the limited stopping one doesn't.
This is why I think with the current 20's as busy as they are with Students/Commuters for work and odd Tom, Dick and Harry or Doris and Mavis getting on during the day that going forward the Prince Bishops would benefit from having double deckers allocated.
