For any real bus enthusiast, today is your last chance to get photos of/ take trips on Arrivas 51-55

Are there any actually running? There’s not a single one tracking on bustimes or the Arriva app.

I've seen a couple of 54 and 55 around today. Looks like the 44/45 are suffering tonight though. After the 8.45pm, the next one out of Haymarket is the 11.35pm.

A number of them aren’t running today as most of the drivers have already left to go to their new employer.

Im surprised they didnt cover the late turns from another depot. It was obvious what would happen!

Wonder how long it will be before they move on from their new employer?

Probably not very long with Nigel Featham and his sidekick Ben Maxfield running the company.

Surely most have gone to Stagecoach instead, considering it's literally a 50m walk from where they've been based for the past year or whatever it is.
RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - XQ Zero - 03 Sep 2023
Arriva's website is showing a Sunday only timetable for the Hurworth to Darlington service 12 commencing 3rd September. Service 12 should have been withdrawn after operating on Saturday 2nd September. The Sunday journeys on 12 were interworking with X75 which I believe is a Durham County Council contract. Solo 2841 is tracking on X75 but not 12. Are the Sunday journeys on 12 operating as shown on the attachment (assuming it opens) or have Arriva put this on their website in error? I note the news section of Arriva's website has not been updated to show the Sunday journeys as continuing. I do not know if the Sunday journeys on 12 were a Durham County contract as well as X75.

I'm led to believe service 12 is operating today, but this is the last day of operation of the service entirely. BusTimes showing service 12 as operating today only currently.

I heard an error was made for the end date on the registration, which is why it is running today for one day only.

I sampled the short 2313 X7 Blyth-Seghill Chester Grove tonight. It was just me and another passenger. I know it's early days but I can't imagine it being very popular except perhaps on Fridays and Saturdays and possibly once the new Cinema etc opens (and/if takes off), but that is a while off.

Personally don't see the point in it, I can't remember the last time I went to Blyth, if they want to improve the X7, then an earlier Sunday service would be better 10am is stupidly late for the first bus to get into Newcastle.
Not aware of anyone around here who would go to Blyth for drinking either or the cinema, arguably later 19 journeys would be better, possibly by using part of the money from the absolutely pointless North Shields extension on the 57A especially since the whole of East Cramlington has no bus service at night and would give Seghill a Metro link all day.

Unfortunately you would need them to work together for that to happen, but alas.

Aye it's a shame they can't work together, on paper imo it would be better to have an hourly 19 running from North Shields to Cramlington and an hourly 57A running from Bedlington through to Whitley Bay, it's the same PVR as what's used now (4). Much much better use of resources and serve places that don't have a bus service (Backworth Estates, East Cramlington, Nelson Ind. Estate, Nelson Village, Cramlington Hospital). Complete waste the current bizarre 57A evening / Sunday service and the 19 being 2 BPH carrying dust around.
Could then potentially make an argument for running the 351 and 359 until late and binning off the 54 evening boards, again serving places with no evening service like Murton, Briardene etc.

Seen on Facebook/ Darlington Borough Council Website that Stagecoach will commence it's 6/6a operations from Tomorrow running Hurworth - Darlington - Middleton St George and Teesside Airport only
RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Storx - 06 Sep 2023
Must say, using Bustimes usual caveats, Blyth has turned an absolute shambles the past few days.
If the X7/X8 tracking is right I feel very sorry for whoever is driving 1505 right now. Absolute absurd to cancel 2 peak times X7 out of Newcastle and have a single decker heading in 80 minutes after the first cancelled bus.
There's going to be some right pissed off passengers.
