Well in Hartlepool people don’t have a clue as had to tell a few people at the Asda stop to cross over get the 23 24 from the Museum. With how slow Hartlepool borough council / connect Tees Vally can be at times they might just have the Timetable there by new year.

Both been a few years since thst ran.

(02 Nov 2022, 6:58 pm)Jimmi In County Durham there seems to be a mix of updated and not updated timetables since the changes last weekend, think a lot of the ones that are yet to be done are ones along routes that had to go out to tender again following Scarlet Band's closure.

(02 Nov 2022, 7:27 pm)cbma06 I’ve seen them come out to put new timetable sheets in at the bus stops for the 22/23/24 in east Durham the week before, yea it was up to the last minute scramble for the scarlet band contracts , probably more important trying to find bus operators to secure what scarlet band originally won and held.In Aycliffe its a mix of updated and not updated, on Saturday one stop only served by the 5/5A had been updated but noticed another stop served by the 17 & works 952 (which I think is now withdrawn) is out of date, multiple stops along the likes of the 47 & 52 routes in County Durham still had old timetables with Scarlet Band on but at the same time, Ferryhill Market Place had an upto date one with Hodgsons noted as operating service 113.

Does anyone know if the extra 308s between South Beach and Bebside in Blyth are running tonight? Don't want to park my car in Bebside and get the 1 & 308 to the event if I'll be relying on an hourly timetable getting back...

(05 Nov 2022, 8:29 pm)omnicity4659 So did everybody else it seems... although they were running, the first extra 308 back to Bebside was just about full but the following journeys were empty.Sounds about right, did you enjoy yourself though?
No communication from Blyth Town Council or Arriva, so cue worse than usual parking chaos at the fireworks - totally avoidable had they said there were buses!
I parked in the town centre and walked there and back... couldn't be arsed to see if a bus would have turned up.

A Facebook post today shows Stagecoach Walkergate are taking over the 685 from the 10th of December
From Arriva website:
In recent months, our services across the North East have unfortunately been impacted by the well documented national bus driver shortage.
This has escalated within the last few weeks particularly, resulting in serious challenges on the delivery of our timetabled services on a daily basis in some parts of the region.
We want to assure you, our customers, we’re exploring every avenue possible to rectify this situation.
We’re mindful of how negatively we are affecting some of our customers and our communities every day, and for this are we genuinely sorry.
As a priority action, work is underway to review our current timetables and service frequencies within parts of Tyne & Wear, with a view of potentially introducing small yet efficient changes in early 2023 which we believe will help to support positive service delivery in hot spots across the North East. These plans are currently being shared and discussed with local authority leads where appropriate, whom we are working in partnership with, to further show our commitment to righting the current challenges being experienced across our bus network.
Arriva has a highly targeted recruitment campaign underway, which has already welcomed over 280 new drivers into the North East region this year. To further boost our ‘on the road’ capacity as quickly as possible, we’re utilising agency driver resource in the coming weeks, helping to bridge the gap whilst some of our newly recruited Arriva drivers undergo their training programme.
We’ll continue to keep our customers and stakeholders updated on our plans and timelines of service delivery supporting changes being implemented.
