I use the X15 / X18 rather a lot and actually they're both pretty reliable, certainly around the Berwick end of the route. The problem the X18 has is that it uses big lumbering E400 buses on twisty, narrow roads for the long coastal section north of Alnwick and they can easily get held up behind tractors, cyclists, Sunday drivers etc...
Noticed an X18 laying over/waiting time in Alnmouth yesterday afternoon. Didn't notice the ultimate destination, but obviously hadn't been pushed too hard on that run.
