(06 Aug 2015, 6:11 pm)GX03 SVC Did they have permission?   They could have at least had a photo of an X18 branded example...

(06 Aug 2015, 6:51 pm)Jimmi They didn't ask but I am more than happy for my photos to be used for things like this. Was quite surprised to see it on their Facebook this morning.

If anyone from Arriva is viewing do feel free to use my photos on your Facebook, website etc.

(06 Aug 2015, 8:10 pm)tyresmoke I believe they just picked a random photo but I'll let them know

(09 Aug 2015, 11:35 am)Tom Just a thought, instead of having the X18 operate via the coast (Alnmouth Station, Alnmouth, Warkworth etc.), why doesn't this happen, possibly next summer:

20/X20 - Operates as route from 6th September.
X15 - Omits Felton and Shilbottle to provide faster links from Newcastle to Alnwick and Berwick.
X16 - As route from 6th September.
X17 - Operates from Newcastle to Alnwick, via current X18 route.
X18 - Operate between Morpeth and Alnwick via Felton and Shilbottle to replace X15, then as current route onwards to Berwick.

(09 Aug 2015, 11:56 am)GX03 SVC Can't the X17 be the X18 - then the X17 change numbers at Alnwick to become X18. It'll work as long as it's explained to passengers if you need to go to **** get off at Alnwick. Also the X18 (518) has always been "the scenic one" so I don't think passengers would want to get on at Newcastle just to find out it goes through Shilbottle.

(08 Aug 2015, 10:21 am)Jimmi New 21/21A/X21 leaflet is now available in Middlesbrough Bus Station.

The X22 will connect with the 21 in Peterlee Bus Station. The X22 route from Sunderland will run via Ryhope Green, Dawdon, then head via Seaham Interchange (that's what the timetable says!) then along the A182 then along the A19 coming off at the same slip road as the X10 and head along Burnhope Way (past East Durham College) then into Peterlee Bus Station then onto the 21.

The X22 will only run on school days, out of term time it will operate as the X21.
