Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Looks like the Traveline site has been updated with the new timetables for Arriva so far I can see:
X7 - Serving Amersham Drive all day now, last bus 23:10, no other changes
X8 - Last bus 20:40 out of Newcastle, now does the X9 route from Cramlington to Blyth
X9 - Last bus 22:35 out of Newcastle, now does the X8 route from Cramlington to Blyth
I can't see changes in anything else seem all minor changes other than the already mentioned 55 changes so they've either not been uploaded yet or there's not much changing including the 306/308 still both being every 15 minutes. The 46/46A/52 aren't online yet though so assuming routes relating to tenders are delayed.
That X8 is setup to fail so that will be getting withdrawn before long. The X8/X9 swap generally is a good move though imo, gives Beacon Hill and the new estate an evening service and North Blyth get a slightly quicker service. No-one really loses out with the X8 as it's covered by the 43/X7 mostly anyway.
