The X21 has went up in the world . . .
Has gone, for the grammar pedants among us.

As I have absolutely no luck and a terrible sense of timing, I ended up on a Solar and a Trident...
The following departures are all scheduled to be a corporate liveried single or double deck:
- 0640 X21 Chester-le-Street to Durham
- 0710 X21 Chester-le-Street to Durham
- 0758 Spennymoor Precinct to Framwellgate Moor Salutation
- 0706 X21 Durham to Newcastle
- 0736 X21 Durham to Newcastle
- 1620 X21 Newcastle to Durham
- 1650 X21 Newcastle to Durham
- 1720 X21 Newcastle to Durham
Those are the journeys you ought to avoid, on top of the evening journeys from Bishop Auckland which connect in Durham Bus Station as a 21 through to Newcastle, if you're hunting one of the new Castles. There is a mention of some of these workings on the timetable (admittedly on the wrong pages), to advise customers that the standard features offered on the Castles Express won't be available.
