X2 I'm not sure if it could be justified another Sun-New express.
Like the ideas of the X4 & X8.
The X5 & X11 merge. To create an X5 Newcastle-Gateshead-Heworth-Washington-Shiney Row-Doxford International-Ryhope-Seaham-Peterlee-Hartlepool
Yeah I wasn't sure on the X4 either, As for the X2 it would justified if the X1 was reduced to Every 15 Minutes, even if kept at Every 10 Minutes with the X2 at Every 30 Minutes providing an a Bus Every 5/6 Minutes, possibly less between Washington Galleries and Newcastle Eldon Square, I still think it could work.
As for the X8 that would be a Faster Limited Stopping Service working alongside the 8/78, so it would skip Sunderland Royal Hospital - Chester Road - Shiney Row - Durham Cricket Ground - Glebe - Biddick - Fatfield - Harraton - Rickleton - Picktree Village, it would skip all those areas to provide a fast express link between Sunderland and Stanley/Consett. It takes what like 2 Hours maybe longer on the 78 Sunderland to Consett, the X8 would take a just over an Hour.
