It's still no faster and we still have to get to Durham, either by car or bus - the first bus gets into Durham at 9:42 ad the fare for just that leg would be pretty much the same as the day tickets we'd need for the X93 as we don't get any discounted tickets where we live (we have to head 20 miles north to get to Newcastle. The 20 miles south to Boro halves our bus travel time)
It's one of those situations where the train marginally wins on comfort, but loses by a mile on price. Speed is a draw.
