Is it the case that "X" numbered bus services are excluded from
concessionary passes? (On account of it differentiating them from
being "local" buses).


No, as you should well know from the X5.


I recall some controversy over the X5, but maybe it's been settled in
the passengers' favour. The other day I saw an X5 on the road, and
was surprised it's been downsized to a single decker.


It's a long 3-axle coach so puts comfort ahead of the highest capacity.
It'll still be over 50 seats I expect. They do have double deckers on it
sometimes.
