Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
New Darlington timetables effective from May 15th are now online.
Darlington - Newton Aycliffe services 5/5A, 7, 8 and 21 (plus 8A, 21A, X21/X22) during the daytimes will now seem to run 5 minutes later than present.
Other changes I can see:
Service 3.
Now runs between Darlington Town Centre and Mowden on evenings and Sundays in addition to Skerne Park where the 3 already runs on evenings and Sundays. Looking at the timetables, it will interwork with the 5A on evenings and Sundays.
Service 5/5A.
Will now operate between Darlington Town Centre and Newton Aycliffe Greenfield Comprehensive School on Sunday evenings, timetable suggests it will run in a loop to/from Williamfield Way running via Burnhill Way, Meadowfield Way, Greenfield Way, Burnhill Way and then back onto Williamfield Way. Much to my annoyance the first 5A journey to Darlington on a Saturday morning appears to be withdrawn which I can't understand why as I've been on it the last few Saturday's and it's picked up decent loadings, so THANKS FOR THAT!!!
Service 7.
Extra weekday morning journey to Framwellgate Moor added, afternoon returns from Framwellgate Moor will now leave Fram slightly earlier than present. 23:15 journey from Durham extended from Newton Aycliffe Town Centre to terminate at Darlington Town Centre at 00:13. Two extra trips on Sunday mornings have been added running between Harrowgate Hill and Darlington Town Centre (this direction only). The Sunday morning journey to Durham which currently starts at Newton Aycliffe Town Centre will now start at Darlington Town Centre at 08:15 and run 10 minutes earlier throughout to match the times of the other Sunday daytime journeys. Disappointing still hourly on Sundays!
Service 12.
Sunday daytime journeys between Darlington Town Centre and Morton Park withdrawn. Looks as though the 5A will now interwork with the 3 Town - Mowden - Town on Sunday daytimes.
This is just what I picked up, there may be more changes in there. New Durham timetables from the same are not up yet.
