Not too sure, think they do yeah. I was more thinking the other way someone in Consett seeing the new branded Red Kite bus who hasn't used it in awhile and no mention of numbers could easily think that's the bus they want to the Metro Centre for example and then end up going on a magical mystery tour and never using it again since it takes forever especially since the X47 was X Lines aswell.

Just quite confusing wouldn't be too bad if it mentions it does the High Spen loop but the branding is Consett -> Riding Mill -> Metro Centre -> Newcastle which doesn't really suggest that. Not sure why it couldn't be X Lines anyway tbh, it's the same route as the X45/X46 to Riding Mill bar it stopping along Teams but sure that could be changed and the buses are the same age and spec as the ones on the X5/X15 anyway now and the X72 does a similar magical mystery tour to Stanley.
