Planning a journey which meets a 25 in Wrekenton without having a wait for some time is not convenient!

If you time it to catch an X1, will probs be quicker!

I'm going to miss X88 from washy to galls. Convenient however passenger numbers were very low. Can understand why it's been withdrawn. If passengers travelling to QE from sections along old 25 route were as low, I can understand them removing the link - no doubt they have the data to back this up.

But I think X88 passengers will loose out more. 20mins journey now doubled. Passengers changing at wrekenton for QE - max of 10mins during the day
