It's confusing what people are rating it on as it seems it's more people on bustimes = more popular which I disagree with. The X21, X45 and X46 imo would be no-where near the top. Ones every 30 minutes and half the buses are dead and the other is every 20 minutes and same half the buses are dead. You could have a breadvan running the services out of Newcastle on the X45/X46 and Durham North on the X21 in the morning and in late in the evening.

Agreed with the 53/54 though. The 93/94 will be up there aswell imo.
