But they withdrawn them because a small part of the route isn't used. I remember really well the old X4/X5 by arriva. That passed the Freeman Hospital before it became the X7/X8 and people were pretty annoyed as there wasn't a link to the Hospital without changing servicesIt was:
- X4 via Church Bank & Gosforth - later reversed back to non stop via Matthews Bank
- X5 via Freeman Hosp - later reversed back to non stop via Matthews Bank. Hospital link replaced by service 52
- X4/X5 both then later re-numbered to X7/X8
To be honest, the reversal was actually one of ANE's more sensible ideas likewise with the 52.
The Northern part of the X8 still needs sorting out though, still too long of a route.
