I've heard rumours of the getting them and their being maintained either by Redcar or Durham but nothing seems to be happening for the time being. Wouldn't it be easier to build a pit at Stockton?!

They've only just put a new roof on. I think the beams are the problem.

Stockton get deckers, send them to darlington for maintenance? Wouldn't it be easier to take them to darlington than Redcar or Durham?

6 and 2 3s Redcar/Darlington I would have thought. Redcar should have spare capacity losing the summer 93s!
Has Jesmond got the 2 mpds yet
Yes 1774/5 were working the X16 yesterday

Definitely Windows, as stated on the Woodhorn Museum website...

I guess weeping widows service would only run in the 'mournings'

Yup 1417 too and 1422 is the latest one to be done... 1421 has had both lower sides fully repainted but not got the darker skirt for some reason.

More repeats on here than the BBC!
I had a trip on the new X20 between Warkworth and Alnwick this afternoon. 7478 turned up in Warkworth as a passenger free zone, 2 pass holders got on at Alnmouth Station, but that was it. Judging from the drivers reaction when I got on its been a pretty sparse first week for passengers.
The timetables at the stops appear to have been updated, but not Alnwick bus station. When the bus got there the driver didn't know which stand to use and resorted to asking me. I didn't have a clue either. :s At least there were a few passengers loitering in Alnwick bus station who got on for the return trip.

The bus that I used on Wednesday (0915 from Ashington) had 2 passengers on at arrival. We gathered 5 by Alnwick.
The bus should use
stand 3, there is a list in the portacabin at the bus station but he mustn't have read it...
These reported passenger numbers are probably why the 420 was withdrawn...
I've seen half decent usage of the 43 through Bedlington towards Morpeth and Cramlington this week, on a brighter note

does the 57A still exist

Yeah but runs Cramlington-Whitley Bay only.

Yes, Cramlington to Whitley Bay

It's early days, I'm sure once word gets round it'll be well used. Should give an alternative to overcrowding the X15 and X18 for key places. Giving a direct link from Ashington to Alnwick which hasn't existed for a while will take time to pick up.

Hope it does, really want to see it grow and do well,
On the subject of growth, I got an X21 run today that I've got every day for the past few years (during school time), and it was the busiest I've ever seen it, pretty much full downstairs, with a canny few upstairs (not even a peak time journey),
One thing with the 43, no timetables (as of this morning) in Bedlington have been updated, (along its route anyway), so apparently the 2 still runs during the day...

Any idea how this other services are doing, 57/57A (people weren't happy about the changes to them), and the X16?

The whole thing, in my opinion, hasn't been publicised well enough (in part, I think, to lack of service updates on buses),
Only seen one X16, wasn't busy at all...

Think people mainly aren't happy because Seghill only has an hourly service to Cramlington now.
And the X16 will be a canny one to ride because it'll have anything on knowing Jesmond.

I think they only made one Facebook post about the changes and it was about a month before the changes happened, felt they should have made far more publicity through social media about the changes.

I'm sure it will be too. As it's calling at Alnmouth Station it means there's a half hourly frequency between there and Alnwick which makes getting the train then catching the bus to Alnwick more attractive too. I do think it needs more publicity though to help spread the word. And Alnwick bus station needs a timetable and signage (though leaving it a fortnight until the X18 timetable goes back into winter mode could be sensible).

well i think to make it more attractive they should make more trains stop at alnmouth because uses stopping there during the day is pointless
