(07 Jan 2016, 5:50 pm)Cock Robin Don't see why they've had to go to all that trouble then - why not just do the diversion like the X10? Like I say Tuesday the proper X12 actually went through the interchange while I was there! (A Stockton one).There can be quite a build up of traffic on that diversion route, just with the services that take that route normally.

Do all these timetable variations (as opposed to service improvements) come with headache tablets ? No wonder so many passengers are despondent and heaven help the drivers.

All to do with saving money and resources. Arriva have a team someplace whose role must be dedicated to this under the banner heading of "Service Improvements". They want to get out in the real world and listen to the customers. And as I've said before, why no direct (and fast) service/connection between two major connurbations? Namely Darlington and Hartlepool. All to do with politics between operators, nothing to do with providing a service that the customers want.

Dan. I'm talking here about a direct service between Hartlepool and DARLINGTON, I know that there are services by Stagecoach to Middlesbrough. Presently the options to get between the two locations are either costly - Stagecoach 1 or 36 to Boro change to Arriva X66/7, costing nearly £13.00 and taking between 90 and 150 mins depending. The other option, to keep the cost down is to travel Arriva to either Peterlee or Durham and change to the respective services. Cost £7.70. Journey and connection times unthinkable. Hopefully my tenure here in Hartlepool will come to and end this year and I can move back to Arrivaland.

I could be with you on what you say about Arriva and connections to Sunderland/Newcastle. However wouldn't this mean Arriva stepping in to GNE's territory and duplicating existing services when resources need to be used elsewhere. As for the services between Hartlepool and Sunderland/Newcastle, that's something I'll not be doing again ! Heaven help those who have to use them regularly and commute. No disrespect to the operator here mind but my last (and only) journey between the two points was a nightmare, all credit to the drivers. No for me I'm afraid its down to the train station if the need arises again.
