There's just too much going on in that one row, do you look at the route number, do you look at the 'express service', do you look at the via points.
To me, having them swapped around is a lot easier to read at a quick glance.
Plus, for me having the route number and destination next to each other makes a lot more sense, you don't say ' X1 via Gateshead and QE...' you say 'X1 to Easington Lane'
Although I am actually of the same opinion as you in that setting these out more like the conventional displays would be better, it's your second point I agree with, not the first.
In real terms there’s more space on the top than the bottom, even with the route number on the top one, but it does read better having them flipped over.
