I think Go North East should consider withdrawing the X-Lines X10 Range of tickets in order to improve passenger numbers on the service as I think since this was introduced when the coaches arrived it has had a negative impact on the service, a day ticket on the X10 currently is £2.50 more than an All Zones which is £6, the latter is more beneficial to the paying customer and I would not be surprised if those who travel between Dalton Park and Peterlee opt to use the X6 instead because it is cheaper for them to do so, or alternatively using a County Durham Day Ticket at £5.30 on the app or £5.50 on the bus. Quite shocking when you look at it and you see at higher end that it costs £3.20 more to use the X10 over other local services that provide the same links. It's no wonder Go North East are looking at reducing frequency on a Sunday which they wouldn't need to do if they made this simply change.
