(27 Apr 2013, 10:11 pm)Brandon wrote X36 is timed to arrive and depart Sunderland at the same time of 30 past the hour - I think this could suggest it will interwork with another service at Sunderland.
I literally can't think what would happen.
Stretching realism a little here, but do you think it could be possible for the X3/36/X36 to all interwork?
If the timings for the X3 and 36 were to stay the same as they are at present, and the X36 were to be the same as the timings you have shown us, I think it could work...
I've just been jotting notes down, and as it's midnight, I'm quite tired... See below for a small part of my notes. Obviously the precise timings below could be slightly different, but so it's easier to understand, I've kept them as they are on my notes page:

The 36/X36 would interwork. The short X3s/36 would interwork. The full length X3s would run alone.
I haven't accounted for services starting at the other end, so it may not work... But I'm tired :p
Anyone else have any suggestions? Probably 50x better than this one.
