Express services need to skip an area where a duplicate service runs the same route imo or a service which just runs between two areas without really stopping.

They're quite rare in the North East but the 1/X1 between Darlington and Shildon is probably the best example of one or the 21/X21 between Gateshead and Chester Le Street or for not stopping services the GNE X1/X66, Arriva X20 and SNE 100/X24
