) but isn't the X5 an hour journey? The 5 takes about 1 hour 25 minutes at peak time (going off the 5 that leaves Easington at 0700, it leaves 15 minutes in front of the 0715 X5 but arrives in Middlesbrough at 0825, 10 minutes after the X5. The afternoon one likewise (1645 X5 leaves Middlesbrough 10 minutes before a 5 but reaches Easington 5 minutes before the 5 that left Middlesbrough at 1625 - 1715 X5 leaves 20 minutes after the 1655 5 but gets to Easington 3 minutes in front of it, and runs together with it between Skelton and Carlin How where the 5 goes into Skinningrove)
I was going by the times from Middlesbrough to Skelton (ie the express section) where the 5 is roughly an hour at peak times and the X5 is 35 minutes (though can be done in 25 on a morning quite easily!)
