To be an express service, it literally should be fast - when the X8 was first introduced, it took just over an hour to complete an end to end journey - but slowly every subsequent timetable change added more time to complete an end to end running.

I agree that an X prefix implies an express service but Stagecoach - like many politicians these days - are very good at convincing people that what they see and think is reality when it isn't, the X2 to Preston and X3 to Kirkby being examples of this. As long as people are happy to get on board, who cares? As far as I know, Stagecoach and politicians don't give refunds.
