It's obvious that Arriva have tried to re-assure their customers that it isn't a great change, effectively swapping the routes and little to no change other than Amersham Drive - but have failed to put this in a clear and coherent way. Ironically your description is a lot clearer.
Yeah I get it, have a feeling it's been wrote for people who know the area rather than people who don't.
The X8 is just a bizarre route to me it's almost as if it's setup to fail, it just seems to drives around places and the places it goes through the X7/X9/309/52 exists and the X9 is quicker in High Pit and the 52 runs in front of the X8 in both directions to/from Burradon which is quicker route aswell.
