Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Been looking on Traveline at Sunday services in Darlington and this is what I think the new interworking patterns may be - can anyone confirm?
5A/19
26A/X66
I imagine this will be the case as presumably the 26A/X66 will use the Max Omnicitys on Sundays.
Also the daytime X66 will now have an added 2 minutes running time on Middlesbrough bound journeys and 1 minute extra on Darlington bound journeys and will leave Middlesbrough Bus Station 2 minutes later.
New 22, 61 and 64 timetables are now on Durham Pindar.

It's interesting that service 62 will follow almost the same route as the GNE 50 between Durham and Arnison Centre.

Apparently it's to provide a better service along Pit Lane.They could do with a better service along there, as I rode the 50 last week and there was problems getting two wheelchair users onboard so we ended up arriving in Durham about 10 minutes late.

Arriva still hasn't posted full changes on their site even though they change on the 26th October..It's pathetic really, two and a half weeks to go now and Arriva have said nothing yet about service changes and there are some pretty big changes, I can imagine complaints because people may be waiting on the first day of changes for the bus to Sunderland only to find it now runs to Hartlepool instead.

X26/X27 have a new timetable from end of October too. Will try and get some details on them all and post itThis is what I think will happen with the X26/X27/26A based on info from Traveline:

No change during Monday to Saturday daytimes.
On evenings it looks like it will operate as a standalone service and because of the odd journey time of just over an hour the 26A will leave Darlington at 1815, 1915, 2030 and 2130.
Sunday daytime 26A will leave Darlington at 15 mins past hour which is 15 minutes later than present. I may be wrong but looking at the times for the 26A and X66 on Sundays I think they will interwork and I think the 5A will interwork with the 19.

If the above does happen, will this mean that EcoCity's will be used on the 5A & 19 on Sundays?I have no idea.

Apparently the new timetables will be online within the next week.
People are getting really frustrated with the fact Arriva has posted nothing with only just over two weeks to go.
I saw a compliant the other day about the 21 no longer serving Shotton anymore and I'm not surprised by this as I have seen people get on/off at the Industrial Estate from even as far as Newton Aycliffe so now they'd either have to walk or get another bus there.

It really is surprising that Arriva hasn't made any announcements on their e-Media platforms yet. As you say, the services are changing in just two weeks, and nothing has been posted online.If cbma06 hadn't emailed Arriva and there was no Durham Pindar site we would have very little idea what was going, I have little idea what's happening with services in Darlington.
I notice that Go North East added something to their website ahead of service changes five weeks ahead of the changes taking place. I also noticed that individual journeys which have been withdrawn due to low passenger numbers in these changes have been quoted in the article - also including alternatives which can be used instead between certain points of the route. As I'm sure most of you will agree, this is definitely a step in the right direction. The exclusion of these details has been discussed on this forum in the past, and I know a number of folks on this forum are keen to send in their feedback...![[Image: tongue.gif]](http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
