I'm not sure how many people would bother with an X87, when it's likely to take twice as long as the X88? You might as well just wait for the latter.
I think his X87 starts at Heworth, traversing into Washington via the 82/82A route before continuing onto Metrocentre via the same route as the X88.
But, if Washington to Metrocentre really warranted a 30 minute frequency, then why not just increase the frequency of the X88 instead of introducing a new service to do more or less the same thing?
