The reason for the 22/24 numbers changing is we've swapped the routes over between Durham and Peterlee to give a direct link between Wheatley Hill/Thornley and Sunderland which has apparently been asked for lots!
I imagine it will be marketed as a through service so they can compete with the GNE X7 through Wingate and Station Town to pick up passengers wanting to go to Sunderland which is why it has probably been numbered as X21.
Will be nice to have one direct bus to Sunderland again as at the moment I have to change in Peterlee to the 24 which is due out at the same time the 21 is due in and Peterlee Bus Station, also I don't like Peterlee Bus Station.
Hope they don't use Solos on the 21/X21 as the 21 I was on this morning only had two seats left once we got to Shotton Colliery.
