Competition between GNE and Arriva?


I take it, X21 - Sunderland - Peterlee - then X22 Middlesbrough or X21 to Darlington?

(03 Sep 2016, 8:23 pm)BusLoverMum The 21A never had an X21 stretch - only the 21 extended to Sunderland.

Unless there's significant changes to the routes, having the X tag beterrn Peterlee and Darlo or Boro is laughable, though. We're talking around 80 minutes for the journey!

(03 Sep 2016, 8:28 pm)Jimmi When the X21 first started, there was a X21 that ran onto the 21A from Peterlee operated by Stockton depot.

There was also an additional Sunderland - Peterlee weekday afternoon journey ran by Belmont which worked off the 24X.

(03 Sep 2016, 8:23 pm)tyresmoke If I remember correctly they're 5 mins apart in Peterlee, off the same stand.
However one is a Sapphire bus, heading for Durham, and one is a Max bus (or will be) heading for Middlesbrough...

(06 Sep 2016, 5:42 pm)Michael Wonder what the change is?

(06 Sep 2016, 5:46 pm)Dan Services reverting to their usual timetables - the roadworks in Durham should be complete by 1st October.

The PVR of Go North East's 20 service will reduce by one vehicle with extra layover in Durham removed, from the same date.

(06 Sep 2016, 5:54 pm)Michael Oh i thought it was later in the year not October for the roadworks to be complete, they've gone quick.

I take it Deptford will lose a bus because of this?

(06 Sep 2016, 5:55 pm)Dan Yes, they will.

The outstanding transfer as a consequence of one of the two new red Streetlites entering service will go ahead.

(06 Sep 2016, 5:59 pm)Michael Hopefully a Scania will move out.
