Is it obvious? To you and I, maybe, but we understand buses and the wider public transport industry. Would a non-bus user understand that an 'X' in the route number denotes it being express or limited stop?
It's being used to promote the headline selling points of the route - 'express service', 'fast and direct', 'up to every x minutes' and 'clean, safe & comfy' (plus any other messages that Go North East would like to display).
