Yes, although originally it was only a small number of journeys that ran to/from Durham running via Belmont, West Rainton and Great Lumley then Chester-le-Street to Metrocentre, most journeys just ran CLS - Metro though. X22 later just became much the same route as the 21 (pre Arnison Centre diversion) between Durham & Birtley then direct via the A1.
