I'm unsure how the data on my phone is fine, yet so many people complain about it? Could it be down to device/operating system?

He eventually arrived 17 minutes late, with the leading driver doing the 1946 trip.

Was on the X66 to Middlesbrough this afternoon, when we got to Great Burdon another X66 pulled in behind us and the passengers from the bus behind got transferred onto the X66 I was on with the bus behind going straight onto Middlesbrough. Wasn't amused about this because I was sat in the quadrant seats and ended up with three passengers crowding round me and left me with little leg room which caused the pain in my knees to act up.
Just had a quick peep on the Arriva Live Map to see how bad the roadworks in Darlington are affecting the services and spotted a 5A to Bishop Auckland running 41 minutes late and it hasn't even got to the roadworks yet!
Safe to say arriva have not made any plans to cover for the gilesgate tailbacks, this weekend.
22 arrived at Durham 20 minutes late. Never seen such a quick driver change and turnaround. Only departed 16 minutes late.
Many of the 5/5A journeys I have observed within the last week have been running in the region of 15 minutes late. Getting beyond a joke now! The only thing I can see that may delay the service is temporary lights on the road to Midridge but that should only slow it down for at most two minutes.
I am also told on Wednesday that the 5/5A were running in tandem as the ticket machine broke on one of the two buses so emergency hand written tickets had to be issued.

Sometimes the X30/X31s don't turn up Stanley bound at weekdays, without any prior notifacation. I had to wait for the X70 which was also incredably late, resulting in what would normally be a 3 minute journey door to door, being just under 55 minutes. It's incredably rare, once before the 25/10 changes, and one similar event that I can only assume is thanks to the joys of Bensham Bank, where the X70/X31/97A all turned up at the bus stop within 10 seconds of each other.
I has a bus that didn't even turn up. Waited an hour and a half for the x81 from Alston to Hexham and it didn't come. I had to get a taxi which cost me £45

(21 Dec 2015, 9:32 pm)Jimmi Been a nightmare on many services that run to the Metrocentre and/or Newcastle, one particular bad sight was two service 6's arriving at the Metrocentre both heading to Newcastle at the same time. Probably going to be standard for the next few days.

The traffic this week, seems to be playing chaos.
Yesterdays trip out with Mrs C didn't go to plan. Waiting 25mins+ for a 4, wasn't the best start - considering I had to justify the case in getting the bus out, rather than hunt around for a parking spot.
We somehow caught the bus in front up, despite out wait - so can only assume some dropping in and out had been taking place.
A long wait at the Galleries involved Mrs C asking me why buses were running in 2's and 3's and following each other - despite them being half full or in some cases empty.
She also asked why they didn't just stick everyone on one bus and send the other late one empty, so it could 'catch up a bit'.
Both the queue and Mrs C cheered a little when the X1's arrived, having been teased moments earlier at the sight of two Easington Lane bound services.
I noted an X12 heading south out of Gateshead NIS.
Hopefully there wasn't one far in front (or behind).
At just after 1600 this afternoon, I witnessed two X25's heading along Portobello Road towards Chester. One a Solar and one an ex-London President.
They were both late, but not sure which one was a few minutes late and which one was approx 30mins late.

Just seen a 8 heading towards Spennymoor, running around 25 minutes late.
