Basically its the old GNE (OK1) which GNE withdrew as a result of Competition from the X1/X66, Never understood why Arriva decided to keep these Routes split to be honest as I think they should be merged.
It's basically more like the old X14 which ran from Bishop Auckland to Middlesbrough except the X14 didn't used to serve Stockton and I think it connected to service X4 to Saltburn? The X14 was eventually cut to run between Darlington and Middlesbrough only and additionally serve Stockton then was renumbered to the X66 in 2008.
The route would probably have to be split somewhere to get round the use of tachnos, the morning / evening OK1's were split at Bishop Auckland.
