Just a little thing from GNE on their site about the changes to North Sunderland

Better and faster bus services for north Sunderland
Date: 30 Jan 2014
We have recently made a number of improvements to bus services in north Sunderland.
Service X36
Between Sunderland and Newcastle has been increased from hourly to half-hourly and has joined the ‘Fast Cats’ brand of express services.
The bus provides unique, direct links to Newcastle and Sunderland from from Carley Hill, Witherwack and Hylton Red House, with journey times to Newcastle from the estates of less than 40 minutes.
Service 29
New service with a bus every 20 minutes between Boldon, Town End Farm Castletown, Sunderland, Ryhope and Doxford. Together with existing service 39, there is a bus between Sunderland City centre and Doxford every ten minutes.
New services X36 and 29 replace former services 26 and 36.
Read more information on our Sunderland Bus Briefing page, or view timetables.
Andrew Tyldsley, Go North East’s head of commercial, said: “Following extensive consultation with our passengers and local councillors, we’ve introduced new Service 29 to provide direct connections between north and south Sunderland and to the growing employment site at Doxford International. At the same time, we’ve been able to increase the number of express bus services we offer to Newcastle.”

And the X36 is now under the Fast Cat's tab on their site with updated info about the Fast Cat's service.
Wonder if any more Express services will join the Fast Cat's brand in the future?
Shame the X3 cut way down.. it could of joined the brand to...
Other than services X7, X9, X10, X21 would you class any other service with the 'X' prefix an express service? Most of them can stop at every single stop along the route.

There other than that one and the one I mentioned, there isn't really any service that runs as an express. The only reason the X30/X31 are classed as 'express' services are because they shave quite a lot of time between Stanley and Newcastle compared to the Diamond routes. Talking of which, the X43 is another one that I missed off
