The 4 currently interworks with the X4 as a split registration with the point they are split being Loftus Market Place and the 4 is part of the Sapphire network as it runs off the X4.
Not sure how the 5 turns round in Easington or where exactly the terminus is but it could maybe continue to Whitby maybe as the 4A or another number which would provide a service between Brotton and Whitby roughly every 15 minutes.
I'd probably leave the 4/X4 alone as it looks to be proving to be pretty popular.
I have no idea how many people actually used to travel to/from Guisborough to these places on the way to Whitby and you'd think anyone from Guisborough heading to Whitby would get the X93.
