The X is in front of 27 because there is already a 27X service albeit a service that GNE run once a year during The Great North Run. The purpose of the X27 is to cover a large part of Hebburn along Victoria Road West that was not served by a regular bus service. I agree that loadings are poor which is disappointing as this is a good service and I have found it reliable and on time.
The 27X that works during the Great North Run follows the 27 route from South Shields to Hebburn Clock PH then direct on Victoria Road to Hebburn College then back to 27 route.
