Indeed, i don't live in Widnes either but i caught the X5 a few times end to end mostly off peak, only ever seemed to be 5 passengers on board, a solo wouldn't have been out of place had one of them been allocated instead, buses serving Green Oaks tends to be local passengers most of the time, rather than those going end to end.
