(21 Oct 2016, 11:15 am)Andreos1 Nice to see possible improvements. Wonder what wild and wonderful suggestions they get?!

Evening X4's to Brotton and Skelton. But 5A terminating at Skelton and so not going to Asda and Brotton.

Chopping a bus out of the 5A basically.

There's a bit at the bottom of the page where they ask for passengers suggestions - if they don't like the ANE ideas.

(20 Oct 2016, 1:42 pm)Jimmi Random question regarding the upcoming timetable for the X21 Sunderland - Darlington:

Is there a particular reason why the last two journeys between Sunderland - Newton Aycliffe on a night terminate at Newton Aycliffe at St. Clares Church on Central Avenue rather than Churchill House (the main Newton Aycliffe Town Centre stop?) http://www.cartogold.co.uk/durham/pdf/Fo...NE_X21.pdf

Isn't that just the other side of Tesceurgh? Possibly because it chops off a few minutes before returning to Faverdale via the A167 and there's less negotiating with drunks waiting at Churchill House?

On Peterlee bound journeys, St. Clares Church (stop name is Central Avenue) is the bus stop before Tesco.

Just seems a bit random for them to chop out Greenwell Road (round the back by Aldi and the leisure centre) and Stephenson Way. Mind most of the time it seems if there is anyone on the last 21 to Aycliffe on a night atm beyond Sedgefield, it's usually me! Just typical as I normally get off outside the leisure centre as that's the closest stop to home. Doubt I'll ever do the last run from Sunderland on a weeknight but it does connect quite nicely with the 5A home.

Although a few extra stops have been bunged into the X7 / X8, it seems a good move to try and assist reliability and it looks like that on average, a 10 minute layover is being introduced in the following pattern in Blyth as well as a PVR increase of 1x vehicle:

Cycle 1:
X7 Blyth Dep: 00:45 then 01:15, 01:45, 02:15, 02:45 = 5x vehicles in total
X7 Newcastle Arr: 01:45
X8 Newcastle Dep: 01:52
X8 Blyth Arr: 03:05 then....
X7 Blyth Dep: 03:15

Cycle 2:
X8 Blyth Dep: 00:47 then 01:17, 01:47, 02:17, 02:47 = 5x vehicles in total
X8 Newcastle Arr: 02:00
X7 Newcastle Dep: 02:07
X7 Blyth Arr: 03:07 then....
X8 Blyth Dep: 03:17

Not a very smooth implementation of the new X46 half of the buses showing 46 on the destination display and the remainer showing X46.

A mix of MAX bases livery ALX400's and standard Arriva Pulsars is not an ideal way to launch a service improvement.

They've been advertising a launch in Crook for the X46 for tomorrow but they have not given any idea of what sort of time the event will take place.
