(03 Aug 2015, 10:36 am)Kuyoyo Arriva's Facebook page's cover photo has been updated teasing improvements to the X66 and new links on the Darlington-Stockton-Middlesbrough corridor.



So is anything actually happening to the X66 or not?

Hmm!

I am still hoping for a later service to Middlesbrough but I can't see it happening.

Just hope that the X66 route isn't made any longer than it currently is.

Might happen - I understand from speaking to a few of the Stockton lads I know that they are supposedly (re)gaining some X66 workings in the autumn so you can expect some timetable rewrites.

(03 Aug 2015, 8:23 am)mb134 Are the new timetables for the Northumberland changes out today, seem to recall something saying they were, just can't find it anywhere...
According to the people on Arriva North East's twitter page it will be dealt with by the end of the week.

I am shocked as the timetables have to go in with the service registration. Timetables must be finalised 4 weeks prior to service commencement if it is a service alteration...hence this week for the new timetables.

Obviously being done in Sunderland by someone who has never been to Cramlington, Blyth, Morpeth or Ashington.

Keep checking Arriva's buggy website over the week. Sadly they have no section about upcoming changes which would be a bonus.

I did think that they'd have to have some sort of timetable ready when they submitted the variations. 

Also, timetables are meant to be on buses by Thursday, meaning they must have already been printed/sent to the printers, and just can't be bothered to upload them to the website...

The only issue I can see with those restrictive services, is actually how many people are in college until 5pm? I don't know if things have changed, but when I was at college, people were on their 2nd or 3rd pint by then...

Now let's see.......
The X66 uses MAX Omnicities every 20 minutes into Darlington from Middlesbrough. The X26/7 uses MAX Omnicities every 20 minutes into Darlington from Richmond/Catterick. There are no links at present from North and NE Darlington to the Railway station. Through services have recently come back into vogue and been re-introduced  across town on the combined 2 and ex 11, 3/3A/3B. Middlesbrough Darlington Richmond Catterick anyone?

Not sure about East Durham College but most courses at New College were finished for the day sometime between 3/4pm, although on my course we were some of the only ones who were timetabled to stay after that, our timetable says that we should have finished at 5pm everyday, that sounded awful but we preferred to stay the extra two hours a day than come in for half a day, especially me as I would have another day making an incredibly long journey.

Waiting for the bus at Framwellgate Moor on a night, most nights you wouldn't see many students waiting for the bus after about 1620 and the few who did were waiting specifically for the 1638 service 7 (including me).

(03 Aug 2015, 8:35 pm)Mark P Pure speculation on my part but how about:
X66 via A66
X67 via A67

Apparently the X67 will go via Longnewton so here is my wacky suggestion.

X66: current route.
X67: via, Freeman's Place, Haughton Road, Haughton Green, Stockton Road, Great Burdon (A1150), A66, LONGNEWTON Darlington Road, ELTON, then A66 to Stockton and Middlesbrough the same route as the X66.

Pure random speculation this. Both would be half hourly (combined 15 minutes).

Hehe. Wasn't the last services the 714/715? Used to use the Metroriders and then the KGP darts. Loved riding on the routes.

Yup. Then for a short while after the 700 was extended from Flint Hill to replace the 714/715 between Pickering Nook and Rowlands Gill.
