(02 Sep 2023, 11:05 am)V514DFT For any real bus enthusiast, today is your last chance to get photos of/ take trips on Arrivas 51-55
(02 Sep 2023, 11:09 am)j986986 Are there any actually running? There’s not a single one tracking on bustimes or the Arriva app.They should be running, just won't be tracking, the same occurred when Darlington made changes back in July such as the last day of X21 not tracking.

(02 Sep 2023, 4:06 pm)Dan A number of them aren’t running today as most of the drivers have already left to go to their new employer.

Arriva's website is showing a Sunday only timetable for the Hurworth to Darlington service 12 commencing 3rd September. Service 12 should have been withdrawn after operating on Saturday 2nd September. The Sunday journeys on 12 were interworking with X75 which I believe is a Durham County Council contract. Solo 2841 is tracking on X75 but not 12. Are the Sunday journeys on 12 operating as shown on the attachment (assuming it opens) or have Arriva put this on their website in error? I note the news section of Arriva's website has not been updated to show the Sunday journeys as continuing. I do not know if the Sunday journeys on 12 were a Durham County contract as well as X75.

(03 Sep 2023, 11:31 am)Jimmi I'm led to believe service 12 is operating today, but this is the last day of operation of the service entirely. BusTimes showing service 12 as operating today only currently.

I sampled the short 2313 X7 Blyth-Seghill Chester Grove tonight. It was just me and another passenger. I know it's early days but I can't imagine it being very popular except perhaps on Fridays and Saturdays and possibly once the new Cinema etc opens (and/if takes off), but that is a while off.

(05 Sep 2023, 10:29 am)Storx Personally don't see the point in it, I can't remember the last time I went to Blyth, if they want to improve the X7, then an earlier Sunday service would be better 10am is stupidly late for the first bus to get into Newcastle.The new evening journeys are contracted by Northumberland County Council and the southern end of the 57A is contracted by Nexus.
Not aware of anyone around here who would go to Blyth for drinking either or the cinema, arguably later 19 journeys would be better, possibly by using part of the money from the absolutely pointless North Shields extension on the 57A especially since the whole of East Cramlington has no bus service at night and would give Seghill a Metro link all day.

Unfortunately you would need them to work together for that to happen, but alas.

Must say, using Bustimes usual caveats, Blyth has turned an absolute shambles the past few days.
If the X7/X8 tracking is right I feel very sorry for whoever is driving 1505 right now. Absolute absurd to cancel 2 peak times X7 out of Newcastle and have a single decker heading in 80 minutes after the first cancelled bus.
There's going to be some right pissed off passengers.
