Ideally the X24/X34 should be in Eldon Square with all the other expresses. But obviously Sunderland and South Tyneside buses go from Market Street, not Eldon Square. So Market Street or Pilgrim Street makes sense. Realistically, the X24/X34 aren't needed as the Metro exists. 27 and 56 serve places along the way, an express just duplicates the Metro.
