Yes I believe that 4812/3/4 all have Mobitec screens, like the 2 Centro's at Stockton.

All of a sudden the new 21/21A/X21 has got much easier to read

http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/globalassets/documents/north-east-services-documents/21-21a-x21-sunderland/neda2121ax21plus-sun-journeyaps.pdf - 21/21A/X21

http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/globalassets/documents/north-east-services-documents/21-21a-x21-sunderland/nedax21_261014revaps.pdf - X21 only


It seems the 22/23 and 24 timetable has being removed... looks like they will go the same style as the 21/21A/X21


RE: Arriva bus changes! - tyresmoke - 25 Oct 2014

They look so much better and appear to be produced by the same software that imports the tables into the paper timetables. I know they are in the middle of various transitions to newer software to produce timetables etc, the website ones are terrible in the way they were produced from the XML files.

I agree they look much better and much more easier to read

The page for the 21/21A/X21 looks much better to - http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/services/21-21a-x21---darlington-to-peterlee-21-middlesbrough-to-peterlee-21a-peterlee-to-sunderland-x21/

That's a lot clearer and much more user-friendly.

On a related note, will the 21 branded EcoCitys be out on the 21 tomorrow or will it be the normal ones?

Apart from the 21 no other Darlington timetables are showing up along with the other Peterlee services and Durham service 6.

I also think that the new timetables look a lot nicer and easier to read, the other style looked ghastly.

I have no idea, I've been thinking that question all week. We'll just have to see what appears tomorrow.


Arriva bus changes! - cbma06 - 25 Oct 2014

It will probably be solos on the 21 tomorrow as there's not enough demand for bigger buses for Sunday's on that route

They've been using Ecocities for the last few months on a Sunday to boost the mileage on them, along with 5A/X66 workings... It would make sense to use 21 branded ones tomorrow but we will have to wait and see I guess.


RE: Arriva bus changes! - Jimmi - 25 Oct 2014

The 21 plus the 5A/X66 have been using EcoCitys on Sundays for a good few months now.

Not sure what will be allocated to the 5A, 19, 26A and X66 now the interworking has changed.


RE: Arriva bus changes! - buznut - 25 Oct 2014

If Darlo has pvr of 3  for the 21  will they need an xtra bus for the x21 extension?
Will any of stockton's allocated 21a be used on the new x21 section after peterlee?
The timetable seems to show darlo,s  buses been used behond peterlee .Not sure which depot is running  8.02am  leaving peterlee for sunderland?

VDL SB200/Wright Pulsar 2 1410 (NK09 BPZ), released from Jesmond following the entry into service of new Streetlite Micro-Hybrid vehicles on service 306, has been transferred to Darlington to make up the fourth vehicle of the PVR.

Stockton will operate the 0802 Peterlee - Sunderland (and return) using a Scania OmniCity, working on/off 21As.


RE: Arriva bus changes! - Jimmi - 25 Oct 2014

Stockton will operate the 0802 Peterlee - Sunderland (and return) using a Scania OmniCity, working on/off 21As.
There is also an extra weekday afternoon journey operated by Belmont depot from Sunderland to Peterlee which will probably run off service 24X from Framwellgate Moor to Easington Village.

Looking forward to seen arriva's version of the gas bus in Sunderland.

Gonna have to ride the Streetlite Micro-Hybrids on the 23 to.

What will the 22 use?


RE: Arriva bus changes! - Jimmi - 25 Oct 2014

What will the 22 use?
They say buses that are less than 4 years old. Probably Pulsars like it does now although we'll see how long they keep that promise as they'll probably often end up shoving an 09 reg example out.


RE: Arriva bus changes! - tyresmoke - 25 Oct 2014

Durham's sure does run off the 24X


RE: Arriva bus changes! - Drifter60 - 26 Oct 2014

(23 Oct 2014, 1:52 pm)Michael NEXUS has updated there bus stop liners to on the site for changes this weekend

http://liners.nexus.org.uk/25298.pdf - All of Ryhope's has being updated

Going off thread but where do you start with that? 
61 branded as Drifter? Obviously it's now SimpliCity. 
60 to Parkside Crescent? It goes to Parkside Heathway right to the top turning circle. 
39 still branded as Doxford Clipper? If anything it's SimpliCity but technically it's unbranded route.


RE: Arriva bus changes! - beefcake - 26 Oct 2014

You could also add that the 23 only goes as far as Victoria Road in Hartlepool, and not the Marina
