The 2 earlier X21s leave DBS earlier in the hour than the 11am-ish one. It doesn't run from further back than DBS before then. I think i read somewhere about a few of the X21s still running on the old interworking with teh 21 pattern, but not sure if it applies to the 9:56 and 8:56. If these aren't interworking with the 21 then it's, at best, coincidence that they leave at the time the 21 arrives and that they run a few minutes earlier than the ones that run from Newcastle. If they don't interwork, then it's shockingly bad planning to not have timings that allow for a reliable connection.
