There's absolutely no benefit of the X41 and X42 doing opposite routes around Wynyard, they're two completely different routes so is just causing confusion for no reason at all.
Also surely the timetables should be done so they're every 30 minutes at the Wynyard side rather than Stockton, since anyone with half a brain cell isn't going to sit on a detour via Billingham for no reason, infact I don't understand why that service goes to Stockton at all from Billingham - it's just duplicating a commercial service...

The routing around Wynyard itself is confusing itself and if I've got it right, you can't use the express to Amazon without going on a detour around the whole of Wynyard first.

It seems they have only lost 19678, 36468 and 37317 even though the overall PVR has dropped by 5 with the lost of the 317.
