(25 Jun 2015, 6:15 pm)Tom They say it's due to the connections being better. Maybe the X18 doesn't connect with trains to it's pointless having it?

There's stopping services provided around every half hour operated by Arriva CrossCountry and Virgin Trains East Coast. The loads that alight from each train is around 20 people. Northern Rail timetables advertise that "Bus Meets Train" at Alnmouth Station, and that you can explore the coast etc. "Bus Meets Train" has been going for as long as I can remember, but nothing is being done to promote the service now.

I don't see the point of a revised timetable. The bus will still manage to be two hours late.

I can completely see the point. By pumping more resources into the timetable, the buses will take longer to enter the 'late' zone.

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - L469 YVK - 25 Jun 2015

I think the new 43 idea is good however, the reliability of the 43 / 44 / 45 although better since they changed the working patterns in December 2013, still isn't good enough at peak times and I think Arriva will need to be careful to ensure that the reliability, particularly on the 43 doesn't plummet to the levels it was facing back between September 2012 and December 2013.

Just looked at the survey in more detail and the proposed changes for Northumberland look promising. Only concern is the reliability of the 43 but if they can get that right, then the changes could prove popular.

Wonder if this change is going to be the service being rerouted through Aycliffe Ind Estate as I have noticed some new bus stops with shelters have appeared on Long Tens Way near where Hitachi is going to be, I imagine it will now run via Millennium Way, Long Tens Way and Heighington Lane? to re-join the  route at Durham Way South instead of running along St Andrews Way past Lyons Tetley.

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Tom - 07 Jul 2015

Are they really upping the frequency?

The X21 never really has many passengers when I see it!

Think the X21 has been doing a bit better recently, the journey I got into Sunderland carried 19 passengers. Another journey I had carried around 15 where the numbers would have been more but we were following a late running 22 on that occasion.

Never been over that end recently, but the last time I went the X7 was carrying a lot more passengers.

(07 Jul 2015, 3:32 pm)Tom Never been over that end recently, but the last time I went the X7 was carrying a lot more passengers.
The X7 is probably the busiest of the Sunderland - Peterlee services but I think this is in part down to it being the only GNE service between these two points and only runs hourly whereas Arriva have the 22/23 every half hour and the hourly X21 so that's 4 more buses an hour.

Not sure on the 22/23 numbers these days but I have seen some fairly busy journeys especially on the 23.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - cbma06 - 07 Jul 2015

more than likely that service 22 which runs from Sunderland Interchange to Peterlee at 37 minutes past each hour might turn into a service X22 from Sunderland to Peterlee along the X21 route which in turn provide almost a 30 minute frequency with the X21 and the X22 will leave Sunderland almost the same time as GNE X7 but the X22 will be quicker to Peterlee than X7.

If thats correct cbma, it means well have a decent amount of services to Peterlee.. but in honestly who wants to go their...
Wonder if GNE will improve the X7 to every 30 mins between Sunderland - Peterlee then...
