(21 Mar 2017, 4:14 pm)Tom Not sure if it has been mentioned but the 472 is being withdrawn from the 21st April, guessing people have favoured the Travelsure services?

Possibly, but I can't see how NCC could justify paying an operator to run a service when there's a commercial alternative regardless of either service's popularity.

I heard it was May thank god they have brought it forward. Arriva's effort of running the 472 has been very poor and the vast majority of locals much prefer to deal with Travelsure than Arriva hence why they've won the war between them.

Has anybody noticed on the new X24 paper format timetable that there's a miss print on the front of the timetable?

On the front of the leaflet, it states the incorrect service number above the list of places served, think it says service 9 or something like that?

No, that's just how they now appear on the daily VOSA search. They are all amendments to the existing registration.

EDIT: Including that 86 one - a renumber of the present 870.

(25 Mar 2017, 11:39 am)S813 FVK Extension possibly?

If it is being extended, it opens up a bit of competition with the GNE services that go via Pittington.

On a different note, the Pulsar on X24 from the Metrocentre, arriving in to Durham just before 1700 - heaving.
Appreciate it is just one example, but there must be some sort of demand.

1517 - saw the 14:12 off Metrocentre today and it was left with a fair few passengers on-board.

I dont understand how they were able to run it for so long with double deckers but from my observations at least, it's carried roughly the same number of passengers on a single decker as it was when it was allocated a double decker, unless the changes last year were a last attempt to get the service to work.
