The patronage is irrelevant really. It is a tendered service. From what can be gathered from the times, it is only there for dead milage (first and last trips) and driver changes/breaks (midday trips). There is no other reasonable reason as to why the X1 is even extended to Chester. Apart from Padeswood the whole route is covered.

If the X1 was more often, it would be a whole different story and it would make a killing but that would have to be commercial which SC wouldn't run but otherwise, as said above, it isn't needed at all. I have jumped on the 06:30 before and apart from myself there is normally 1/2 people. No one travels further than Airbus.
