Hexham and the withdrawal of the X85 and downgrade of the X84 to the 684, was always overbussed regardless of the train.
But as shown by GNE's X10 being at bursting point, rail improvements don't always equate to loss of passengers.
The X10 is because of the pricing advantages, there's none of that with the X21.
The X21 will be the one that will be hit hard if anything as it's going to lose a large chunk of people in the Bedlington Station area especially since they have to go on a detour around Nedderton.
