It shouldn't be really.
But there's too many bloody "expresses" in Derwentside
!Not like the easy days when it was just the X30/X31 & X70/X71 with the 40's mopping up everything inbetween!
Gives me flashbacks of NMS/Arriva Blyth and the EX1, X1, X11, X24, X25, X26, 363, 364 and whatever other variations and X numbers they had back in the day haha!
Note that Arriva now have 6x express numbered services from Blyth.....but they at least have some logic & common routing (X7/X8 via Quorum, X9 Bebside & Beacon Hill, X10/X11via Newsham & Southfield Green, X30 super fast).
The X71 and X73 are the confusing ones!
