I wouldn't have bothered posting but I can't help but notice that the X6A is down as terminating St Bede's in Lanchester, rather than the Village. 

Looks very odd, though if it is coming from the Durham end it may be to try and serve the estates on the Consett side of the main village (next to the Jet garage and St Bede's Court behind the school). Very odd nevertheless.

Nexus have cocked that up somewhat by only showing 'their' half of the timetable... the X6A as far as I am aware will be one run each direction through Crook, Tow Law and Lanchester upto Metrocentre and Newcastle effectively filling in the light run back to Crook.
Based on the Saturday timetable.... on that timetable the 0840 from Crook (0800 from Stanhope I think) will run to Newcastle, then continue and return as an X6A via Metrocentre, Lanchester and Tow Law to Crook and onto Stanhope. Then you've got the 1115(?) from Stanhope which continues from Crook as the 1155 to Newcastle, which returns as the 1400 (via Metrocentre) to Crook and Stanhope via the X6 route, then it'll run as an X6A back to Newcastle which Nexus have as the 1635 from Lanchester, then returning back via X6 route as the 1715 to Stanhope. 
Can't quite remember how it works on a weekday but that suggests there will only be one X6 each way.

EDIT: Having spoken to a Weardale member of staff what I put above is pretty much correct... the X6A will just be one run to Stanhope & back effectively filling in what would be a light run back, going back the direct way. St Bedes in Lanchester is purely just a 'flag of convienience' split point as much as anything else - nobody is likely to be using it to get to Metrocentre at 1635 in the afternoon.
