However are you going to run a service through a low catchment area opposed to an area with more passengers?

If people dont use the service then it's obvious that they will re-route to an area that will. Same reason the old M3 route was removed due to low numbers between heworth road and concord.

When I used to live in burnopfield and travelled to Washington on a Sunday, I wished they would merge the X43 and X88 so I didn't have to change buses to get to washy. Doubt they would create that service just for me......

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. 
They removed the frequent 88/88a, which served the hospital at various times of the day. It operated during visiting hours.
It was partly replaced by the 26.

For those areas now not served by the 88/88a and 26, they introduced the H1.
It isn't frequent and it doesn't serve the hospital during visiting hours. 

For the westward part of the route, its living in the shadow of the 27 for a big chunk. Even taking in to account the local journeys people might want to make on it, there's more chance of getting the 27, than the H1.
