Operational convenience isn't something that a passenger should be concerned about.
Particularly if that operational convenience has a negative impact on the passenger experience.
I think it's a difficult balance to strike sometimes though. When you're serving a remote area, like Peterlee is, it's often the best way to run some of the local services. We're talking about the flexibility for at most 20 Saturdays a year, but realistically probably 2/3 of that.
Looking at the X6, the same buses also interwork with the 38/201/209/210. I'm not familiar with the 209/210, but I can't think of anything on the 38/201 routes that would cause a problem for say a Streetlite or Citaro.
