Yes, there are still those who get on knowing it takes longer to go the full route than the X93/X94 - I was on the bus with a group who'd been out drinking in Whitby and one of them did realise the X93 was in the stand and would get to Boro quicker, but they were on board and past caring! Also, the X93 was packed out.

That service is given extra resources during the peak season, but the X4 isn't (except on Sundays). Not an easy one to do much about though.
