Take the X30/X31 for example, although it does technically serve every stop, in my experience it's very rare that it actually stops everywhere. You get a few people in Dunston and Whickham, but I don't recall it stopping very often between Sunniside and Stanley, at least outside of peak hours.
Similar for ANE's X15 - loads of stops up the A1 between Morpeth and Felton, and again north of Alnwick, but in reality it rarely stops.
