I can see why the X21 has been withdrawn and the passengers who lose out are those going across Sedgefield.
Bluntly honest though, ive seen the X21 between Rushyford and Sedgefield and it is usually practically empty, which i suspect has influenced the decision somewhat.
Must admit I don't know the route too well, but I'm not surprised. It does seem to connect places which don't exactly have much of a connection. There's not exactly much at Sedgefield and/or Newton Aycliffe why people would exactly want to go between the two and there's tonnes of buses between Darlington and Newton Aycliffe and of course the X22 at the other end.
