RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dan - 13 Mar 2015

(13 Mar 2015, 7:51 pm)Michael Thanks Dan, i might have a ride on the Arriva services during the 6 weeks holidays.

I do hope when the 22 goes to Sapphire, numbers go up, i think they should go to the Sunderland Echo and advertise the services.

I have a feeling that, if anything, only the passenger numbers on the Peterlee - Durham section of the route will grow.

Arriva haven't got any onward connections to offer in Sunderland; as such, anyone travelling from Peterlee to Sunderland is likely to use the X7 service, as they can connect to other services at Park Lane on a day ticket.

Which is a shame, always said Arriva should run more services in its home town...although most area's have a bus route now..so its a massive risk =(.

If people are travelling between Peterlee and Sunderland but don't need to head somewhere that Arriva doesn't operate would possibly more likely to use the 22/23 between Peterlee and Sunderland Park Lane as they are more frequent than the X7 unless there is some factor where people would choose the X7 like connecting from an East Durham service or continuing somewhere Arriva don't operate eg. Stadium of Light.

Also don't forget about the Dalton Park developments which may attract people from the likes of Wheatly Hill and Peterlee to Dalton Park as I think there is going to be a cinema built there? if so it would be the nearest cinema in the area and people may also be drawn to shopping at Morrisons.

Interesting that Arriva are thinking of introducing next stop announcements on the X93.



ROAD CLOSURE AT SKERNE PARK FROM MONDAY 16TH - Coleridge Gardens and Tyne Crescent on Skerne Park will be closed for 5 Days from Monday 16 March.

Services 14/14A/14B will divert via Lorraine Crescent then operate normal route along Hammond Drive turning left onto the terminus returning to Hammond Drive via Ribble Drive and Eden Crescent then leave Lorraine Crescent via the opposite side.

Anything for Nothumbria?


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Dan - 23 Mar 2015

(23 Mar 2015, 5:13 pm)Michael Just noticed the X21 is due to change from Sunderland to Peterlee...anyone have any idea's why?

No changes to the 22 or 23 yet, though... Looks like cbma06 was right in suggesting that an Arriva employee was monitoring loadings on the 21 - 23 series between Sunderland and Peterlee.

The X21 is obviously more or less at the end of its six-month probationary period, so it's only right that some sort of changes were planned to combat the buses which are running empty. Hopefully it isn't just a case of timing the X21 to leave 5 minutes ahead of the 22/23 in both directions...

Not sure what is happening yet but the X21 was registered to amend route# and timetable the other day.

# probably no route change.

Thanks Dan, i'll keep that in my mind!



Least the 22/23 isn't up for changes..... as for the X21... only seen it once - 3 people on.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 23 Mar 2015

Can't see any new timetables on the X21 page yet.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 23 Mar 2015

Do we really need next stop announcememts on the X93? Won't be able to get your head down!

I got the X21 today from Sunderland Interchange at 13:15 and the 13:07 service 22 (10 minutes late) pulled into the next stand up from the X21, their was 9 passengers on the X21 with 3 passengers getting off at the stop after grangetown and another getting off at ryhope green and ryhope hospital, roughly about 10 passengers getting on service 22 (fleet number 7456, I think that was the correct fleet number if Durham depot has it), theres been solos running about on service 24 lately.

I wonder what the changes are for service 24, their better not take the service out of my estate again, its like a yo yo over the past few years.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 23 Mar 2015

Some of the new timetables are on the website already - the rest should appear soon!
5/5A is on there now - one for Jimmi to look through Wink
Mon-Fri
Appears the 2245 Bishop-Aycliffe is extended through to Darlington (terminates 2342) and there's a new earlier journey from Darlington at 0625 (currently first one is 0655) to Bishop (arrive 0735)
Sat
New 0708 Shildon-Darlington (a0755), 2245 Bishop-Aycliffe extended to Darlington
New 0630 Darlington-Bishop (a0740) an hour earlier than current first journey

The X21 changes are just the peak extra journeys being culled, still run every hour through the day to more or less the same times.

The Stockton morning peak run is usually busier than the normal Darlington run! I guess it's the associated dead mileage on the 21A section of the route that's causing the issues with running it..?

It's more to do with the fact we've had to cover the Leven work believe it or not. The 6 now runs all day which means we have to find an extra bus to do the X12 it used to do, hence the Stockton one will do that then run light to Sedgefield to pick up a 21A at 0921, the Durham bus will go back to do the afternoon one.

They also appear to have altered the timings too, mainly adding extra time between Newton Aycliffe Town Centre and Darlington and reducing the running time between Bishop Auckland Bus Station and Aycliffe Town Centre, considering it can't get to my stop in Aycliffe on-time most days I can see this becoming even more of a joke than it already is to me.
