In regards to Service X24 - I was on the 13:55 run from the Metrocentre to Chester-le-Street yesterday. I'd say we left with no more than half a dozen people on.
I'd hate to know what it's like on a Sunday! However, I'm of a fervent belief that Service X22 is more popular purely because of it's frequency, and route. Service X24 always hit traffic on the several times I've used it to and from the Metrocentre, and the result is a constant delay throughout the route.
