History
On 1 September 2019, the route (along with X5 Bristol–Cribbs Causeway) was transferred from First West of England to Stagecoach West who operated it as a Stagecoach Gold service.[1] First noted the removal of tolls from the Severn Bridge as having contributed to lower passenger numbers.[2]
From 5 January 2020, the stops at Cribbs Causeway and Aust were removed. Stagecoach stated that the route had been running at a financial loss and that the changes were to improve journey times and punctuality in the hope of increasing passenger numbers.[3]
The service was withdrawn on 14 June 2020.[4][5] It was partially replaced by the X7 Trawshafren service operated by the NAT Group between Bristol and Chepstow.[6][7]
