Perhaps its a marketing trick to make passengers think it's a quicker service. If you look across the water it's a similar thing. The X2 to Preston observes all stops between Liverpool and Southport. The X3 to Kirkby observes all stops apart from two early morning journeys that run non-stop from Lower Lane to the Industrial Estate via the East Lancs Road. And the X5 to Widnes observes all stops between Vineyard Street (just before New Mersey Retail Park) and Widnes
