(15 Oct 2016, 12:24 pm)Michael Thanks, so it's nearly been 4 years and now they decide to take the Peterlee to Boro section away.... no doubt the changes will say "Due to low passengers on this section of the route"...........
Yeah, it was when a load of people joined the forum.
The X7 has had a few cut-backs over the years. I can't remember which specific runs were cut mind.
(15 Oct 2016, 12:45 pm)cbma06 I live on that section, GNE was going to run a service around Oakerside a few years ago, but Arriva diverted service 22 on a 30 minute service around there so that stopped GNE running there, before it was an hourly service round there with the council wanting a 30 minute frequency.
I can see it now, when service X7 is delayed it will be terminating at Peterlee bus station, as this is what Arriva drivers did when service 25 was running late and decided not to run the bus station to oakerside section which left stranded passengers at the bus station making other arrangements of getting taxis etc...
There is also the 202 to take in to account, with that running from Seaham to Station Town.
It's going to go one of two ways (via Passfield/Burnhope Way or Blackhall Colliery).
