I used it daily before it was axed, and it would tend to be busy in both directions between Houghton and Durham. The Durham bound trips would be busy before they got to Houghton, too.

It wasn't that much of a time-saving on paper, but the perception was that it was a lot quicker, and that's important to passengers. The X1 and 56 show that it's possible to run a fast and slow service along a shared corridor.
