It's not a bad assumption to assume an X1 is an express version of their 1, or the X10 is an express version of their 10 (ignoring common sense). Between other operators then fair enough but there's 99 numbers GNE could use (if you want to keep it 2 digits) without having an X1 and 1 and X10 and 10 running from the same bus stations (or nearby).
In terms of the 10, I quite like the way Trent Barton have done it for their 'nines' routes where it's 9.1 and 9.3 (used to be a 9.2 which got scrapped - don't have the gap). Could work well for the 10's 10.1 to Hexham, 10.2 for the 10A and 10.3 for the 10B
In terms of GNE, Arriva and Stagecoach is there any services which have the same number running from the same bus stop / station in Tyne and Wear, can't think of any tbh.
There used to be the Stagecoach 40 and GNE 40 from Wallsend Interchange. Different stops, but same interchange!

Yes, different stops, but you could argue Central Station is an interchange and served by a 10 from two companies.
Stagecoach 6 and GNE 6 at the Metrocentre, although different stands, could be confusing as they go from the same interchange!
