There is a Facebook group wishing to bring back the X21, set up by our MP who never appears to be around, especially at the Aycliffe end of the consistency, probs disappear when the useless sod gets the boot in a fortnight.

The X21 was the Sunderland to Darlington via Peterlee express, correct. 
Also reading your post has reminded of an old suggestion i did for an A689 express service.
