It was taken off for a while, and then the Lime returned to Washington in the form of the 8. X8 was definitely around at the time the Langley-Sunderland X6 was about.
The X8 would of been withdrawn in 2008 and replaced by the 73/74 which did Sunderland to Sunderland with a Loop around Washington, via Waterview Park - Sulgrave - Concord - Albany - Galleries - Lambton - Harraton and Fatfield
