Not really sure about the X21 suggestion, very few people from Darlington and Newton Aycliffe get the current 21/X21 to Sunderland (in fact I wouldn't at all be surprised if me and Dan were the only people to go this far on the 21/X21).
The X23 suggestion it would probably be better to run it via the A167 missing Chilton and Ferryhill out and possibly stop at all stops en-route to Durham including Croxdale as it could possibly pick up some of the GNE X21 custom as looking on Google Maps it would take the same length of time as going direct via the A1(M) and going via the A167 would also be less miles.
