A shame that axing printed timetables has spread to the North East. It's gradually been spreading around the country but generally it seems to be PTEs and councils so far due to slashed budgets, rather than operators who have kept them going in areas where it's their responsibility.
It was bad enough when Nexus axed maps and then closed all the smaller travel shops and all the shops on Saturdays meaning you couldn't get timetables even if they were still available.
I don't know why they don't consider doing small "amendment" leaflets so when it's a very minor change that could be slotted inside, rather than reprinting a glossy leaflet or leaving an old one on show.
Availability has been poor in some areas for years, the rack at Durham bus station is permanently about 90% empty.
