If anything, the same argument could be applied to the Arriva X10 / X11 services that they're not an express due to them serving every stop between Blyth and Southfield Green yet, the X10 / X11 is about 10 minutes quicker than the 43 between Cramlington and Newcastle.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the next change it serves all stops along Durham Road
