(06 Oct 2021, 6:41 pm)BusLoverMum Darlington itself seemed fairly calm. No more delays than I'm used to, though the x21 arrived later than I'd expect, unless its timings have changed since I last caught it. Durham was chaos, as usual, though. While I was waiting for the 7 (with plenty of time to ponder the eviction notice on the cbd shop and the crowd outside boots which isn't letting customers in because if some structural issue, yet they expect staff to work there) a 22 and 24 left together
X21/X22 (& X12) have been diverted round Sedgefield for the last 3 days due to a road closure on Salters Lane, Sedgefield which is slowing the journey down plus the issues in Darlington at points, luckily today was the last day of the road closure in Sedgefield.

Sadly still some knock back from cancellations, the first 5 to Darlington this morning seemingly didn't run, nor did the 7 it drops onto at Darlington meaning I had to make some alternative transport arrangements to enable me to catch a train from Darlington. I'm at the point I feel it's not worth the hassle of using the bus down here right now and car is a much more attractive prospect compared to freezing to death on the top deck of an E400 which I was meant to have this morning.
