RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 13 Aug 2017
(12 Aug 2017, 9:03 pm)L469 YVK Totally agree. They'll happily run them packed and sometimes late (going by previous comments on Facebook left by disgrunted passengers ) in the peak times but will happily consider withdrawing a socially beneficial service without at least trying to make it more profitable first. Could even arrange a vehicle swap at Blyth and reduce it to a single decker before doing the outbound X11 and inbound X10 to reduce fuel costs.
Another example of them making stuff up is the excuse they had for the withdrawal of 494, "low passenger usage". The bus was leaving Benton full and standing?! The actual reason was it tied up a vehicle in the mornings that would go on to work a Scholars service, and was always late...

It's the same as boxing day gone. Fair enough if they couldn't get the drivers to work until late on but there would've clearly been demand for a few specials to be put on after the match.
Even moving the 23:10 departure to 23:15 / 23:20 and giving the driver an extra 5/10 minutes pay would be better than nothing.

Not suprised about the X24 rarely has passengers on.

I have seen passengers on service X24, but it should be withdrawn totally, it's not worth running it, there's 4 buses per hour running between peterlee and Durham as it is without having a so called express service which it's only a little tiny bit faster than the normally 24.

I was told at a meeting that the is X24 is safe and the last run was being cut.
On a similar note Arriva have said they where going too cutting the last X21 journey from Sunderland that leaves at 1946. It was put for a factory shift then they went and changed the shift pattern making the run obsolete.

It would be simple if the X22 operated to Sunderland. It used to as the 21A/31A.

23:40 308 being withdrawn from 29th October?
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
Oh, they'll happily pack the Blyth - Newcastle routes in during the peak times running them god knows how many minutes late taking peoples money YET, they'll withdraw a late service on a bus (barring any Busways registered service) that most likely sits only second to the Angel in terms of popularity and profit across the whole of the North East!
Ok, a reduction to Friday and Saturday nights only would seem sensible but come on man, even GNE still run the booze buses to Blaydon / Winlaton on a Friday and Saturday night on a route that is nowhere near the 308 in terms of profability and passenger numbers!

This is what happens when bus companies are all for profit and not for passenger needs, just like when the council has to fund the gap as the bus company can't be bothered to run not to profit evening services, council should withdraw there funding and let the passengers vent there anger towards the bus companies.

PROFIT!????
Barring a Monday - Thursday and a Sunday, the 23:40 service does fairly decent and can get some decent loads particularly around payday weekend!

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 21 Sep 2017
I just find it amusing that they're still running non-profit making extensions/services yet cut the journeys that make profit.
35s to Woodhorn, 64s to High Pittington, 52s to Ashington/Newbiggin etc...
