- Stanley and Sunniside to Newcastle is now well served with the X30/X31 every 15 minutes as well as the X70/X71.
- Catchgate and Annfield Plain covered by X30 (albeit slightly limited during Monday to Friday afternoons, I'm sure GNE will rectify this going forward if demand is there).
- A lot of the 6 route between Stanley and Sunniside is covered by the faster X70/X71.

I don't know the area that well but didn't they exist when the 43 and 44 was around (West Durham Swift I believe their brand was)? I can't really comment on people using them though was just a reply to has anything had a worse downgrade than the 35.
