I enjoyed the X30 just a few weeks ago. It's not exactly quick at any point even round Runcorn.
Of course, we've not yet at the next logical extension of.... if it's an Express, then surely it must be operated by a) something with high back seating or b) a coach (rolls grenade)...
I'm not sure when or how it became X30, but was around the mid 90s, could have been the North Western/Warrington Borough Transport(WBT) bus war, as WBT started there own 30 Warrington-Chester(i actually have the timetable for it) covering the C30, North Westerns response could have been to renumber there C30 to X30
Traditionally the C30 never served Runcorn it went direct via the A56 as Chester-Frodsham-Runcorn was served by H21/H22/H23/H24, & Runcorn-Warrington via Preston Brook by H31.
