Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
From Wednesday 13 October, North Tyneside Council will permanently close Howard Street and Northumberland Square. As a result, there will be some minor changes to the routes and times of some of our services.
Services 53 and 57A
Towards Cramlington, both service 53 and 57A will operate from Bedford Street via Saville Street, Stephenson Street, Albion Road, Church Way, resuming the normal route from there, no longer serving stops on Howard Street and Northumberland Square.
They will additionally serve a new stop to be located on Stephenson Street and serve the bus stop opposite Christ Church on Albion Road, these replace the current stop on Howard Street.
Service 306
Towards Newcastle, this service will remain on Albion Road before turning onto Preston Road. The service will additionally serve a stop on Albion Road opposite Christ Church to replace the one on Northumberland Square.
Towards Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, the service will operate via Albion Road rather than Northumberland Square, again will serve the stop on Albion Road outside of Christ Church.
Looks like the 35/35A was causing people problems
From Sunday 31 October, we have realised that the changes we made to this service in July when we introduced the 35A have caused some confusion to passengers in the Woodhorn and Newbiggin areas. As a result, we will revert to the original route of only a 35 which will serve Newbiggin in both directions.
We are also pleased to announce that from Monday 1st November, this service will be reinstated to its normal frequency of up to every 20 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes. Regrettably, the current Saturday frequency will remain in place whilst we continue to manage our driver availability challenges. As a result a revised timetable will be introduced Monday to Saturdays.
They will be no change to current late evenings or Sunday services.
Also changes to the X18
From Sunday 31 October, we will revert to our winter timetable n the section of route between Alnwick and Berwick. From this time, we have made amends to a number of journeys at the request of Northumberland County Council. See details below.
Monday to Friday
• The 1410 from Berwick towards Alnwick and Newcastle will operate 5 minutes earlier between Berwick and Alnwick, with a new departure time from Berwick Rail Station at 1405.
• The 1615 from Alnwick towards Berwick will operate 5 minutes earlier between Craster and Berwick.
• The 1823 from Alnwick towards Newcastle will operate 5 minutes later between Alnwick and Morpeth, with a new departure time of 1828 from Alnwick.
Saturdays
• The 1410 from Berwick towards Alnwick and Newcastle will operate 5 minutes earlier between Berwick and Alnwick, with a new departure time from Berwick Rail Station at 1405.

(20 Oct 2021, 7:35 pm)Adrian They are though, on the most part!Judging by the comments on the Arriva page, suggests the reality is different.
I'd expected someone to suggest something like that, so I had looked at the vehicle history on bustimes.org prior to posting.

I needed to check the times for the 22 for a friend, and it looks like from the 2nd January to the 15th March... the 22 is every 20 minutes - Monday to Saturday (remaining the same on Sundays)

(17 Dec 2021, 11:55 pm)peter No details on the Arriva website for this but there are some minor school-time changes already announced:
Northumberland Service 35
-07:52 from Woodhorn will now depart 07:42 running 10 minutes earlier to Ashington on school days, while on school holidays it will depart 07:47 running 5 minutes earlier instead - same timetable as now from Ashington.
-08:12 from Woodhorn will now depart 08:07 and operate 5 minutes earlier throughout
-15:17 and 15:37 from Woodhorn will now depart 15:22 and 15:42 running 5 minutes later throughout
Redcar Service 62
-Buses will leave Mersey Road slightly earlier towards Redcar on Monday-Saturday
Redcar Service 63
-14:38 from Redcar will run school holidays only
-14:58 from Redcar will now run on schooldays
Redcar Service X3
-08:14 from Lingdale will run 5 minutes earlier throughout
-13:50 from Middlesbrough will run 5 minutes later from Saltburn and terminate at Skelton Asda on schooldays
-New 14:54 schoolday service from Huntcliffe school to Lingdale replacing 15:19 Huntcliffe school to North Skelton
Interestingly looking at the new timetables for these, a number of other services are now showing as running every 20 minutes/extra journeys including service 62 - obviously no mention of a frequency increase on Arriva's site for the 62 so I think it might just be Arriva's shocking website.
