Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 22 Mar 2016

Hoping the new timetables will be up soon as many of the services I use are set to have their timetables changed on May 15th. Fingers crossed it won't cause many/any problems for me!

I'm guessing this will mean that the 21/21A times will also get pushed back by around 5 minutes.

If that is the case, it should be intresting to see if/how this will impact the times of the 5/5A, 7 and 8 as they are currently timed to run roughly every 7/8 minutes between Darlington and Newton Aycliffe.

Why do they need a better slot between Mbro and Stockton? Would have thought that was the least important part of the route.

Just what I was told in an email I received today.

I would guess it's being retimed to fit better with the X66/X67 - at present, the 21a leaves Middlesbrough 3 minutes behind an X67 and towards Middlesbrough from Stockton 5 minutes behind the X67.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 22 Mar 2016

Trying to position everything to provide a combined 7/8 min frequency between Middlesbrough & Stockton I understand. This time we've changed the 21A by 5 minutes, which obviously means moving the 21. This has a knock on effect across the Darlington and East Durham corridors where there are also standard frequencies. Amazing how one little change affects areas as far away as Sunderland

Seems daft changing the times up there just to improve times between M'bro and Stockton, when there's a Stagecoach every 7/8 minutes anyway and the Arrivas don't even all go the same route!


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - BusLoverMum - 23 Mar 2016

Of course, if the 22s are moved 5 minutes later, that fouls it up for people using it to get to work in Durham. It's already useless on a Saturday, as it arrives at 8am or 9am - no good for people who need to clock in at 8:50, which is commonplace.

On the new timetable the daytime service 22 is 07 and 37 from Sunderland and Durham

That hasn't changed at all, then.

Only thing real change is timing points along the route by 1 minute or so


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - BusLoverMum - 23 Mar 2016

They can usually be taken with a pinch of salt, anyhow.

Is the 8am-ish departure from Sunderland still timed 5 minutes earlier than the buses after for Wheatley Hill/Thornley? That one has been on time once in as long as I can remember. Where the timetable says 9:07, it arrives at 9:12, just like all the later services. Arriving before then is a once a month event.

And wtf is going on with this version of the timetable? It's the same for the one I checked out, recently for the 21. A whole section of the route is reversed on the Durham bound journeys!

Unchanged, then. It's never 9:06, though. I almost fell over in surprise the one day that it was!
