(16 Aug 2021, 12:05 pm)mb134 Given the changes aren't until the end of September and have likely just been registered, you can probably calm down. The only actual withdrawals are the X6, X16, and X85 - none of those withdrawals cut anyone off, and haven't operated for a quite significant period of time anyway.

From Sunday 29 August, we’re making some changes to services in the South East Northumberland and Tyne & Wear areas.
Service 35/35A Woodhorn to Morpeth
Monday to Saturday daytime journeys will change to operate to a revised route arrangement around Newbiggin and Woodhorn, as a result of changes to the timetable.
This new arrangement will see buses operate to a one-way loop of Newbiggin and Woodhorn, via Seacrest Road.
Service 35 will operate this loop in a clockwise direction (essentially running direct from North Seaton Roundabout to Woodhorn, then via normal route back towards Ashington/Morpeth), with a NEW Service 35A introduced, which will operate journeys anti-clockwise (as normal between Newbiggin and Woodhorn, but returning via the A189 to North Seaton Roundabout, then back to Ashington/Morpeth).
The frequency of service from Newbiggin and Woodhorn will continue to be twice per hour, however due to the revised route, these times may be slightly different to normal. This does also mean that Service 35A intending passengers do need to board the bus on the opposite side of the road to normal, when travelling towards Ashington/Morpeth.
When alighting, passengers can travel around the loop in either direction to reach their terminus.
Evening and Sunday buses will continue to run as present, terminating at Seacrest Road via Sandy Bay in both directions.
Service 43 – Newcastle to Cramlington and Morpeth
Service will be reinstated to operate up to every 15 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes between Newcastle and Cramlington with journeys continuing to Morpeth hourly. There is no change to evening or Sunday timetables.
Service 44 – Newcastle to Dinnington
There will be minor timetable changes to this service during Monday to Friday daytimes.
Service 45 – Newcastle to Dinnington
There will be minor timetable changes to this service during Monday to Friday daytimes.

(22 Aug 2021, 12:59 am)mb134 I find it interesting that they note the X21/22 Saturday and Sunday timetables will remain as they are at present due to driver availability. The Sunday timetable is the same as it always has been, so to mention that raises the possibility that they've investigated increasing it?If they were to increase the Sunday X21/X22 without other service changes (i.e a Sunday X20 Ash-Ncl only), could they do it every 30 mins for both routes or perhaps have 'shorts' between Bedlington and Newcastle to provide a 20 minute frequency between those points?
Otherwise the changes look positive, particularly the earlier journeys which should be more attractive to folk needing to be places earlier.

New ARRIVA DURHAM COUNTY LTD Shuttle (Staff, Airport, Town Centre) Darlington Centre/Airport Darlington Arena
From Sunday 29 August, we’re making some changes to services in the South East Northumberland and Tyne & Wear areas.
Service 35/35A Woodhorn to Morpeth
Monday to Saturday daytime journeys will change to operate to a revised route arrangement around Newbiggin and Woodhorn, as a result of changes to the timetable.
This new arrangement will see buses operate to a one-way loop of Newbiggin and Woodhorn, via Seacrest Road.
Service 35 will operate this loop in a clockwise direction (essentially running direct from North Seaton Roundabout to Woodhorn, then via normal route back towards Ashington/Morpeth), with a NEW Service 35A introduced, which will operate journeys anti-clockwise (as normal between Newbiggin and Woodhorn, but returning via the A189 to North Seaton Roundabout, then back to Ashington/Morpeth).
The frequency of service from Newbiggin and Woodhorn will continue to be twice per hour, however due to the revised route, these times may be slightly different to normal. This does also mean that Service 35A intending passengers do need to board the bus on the opposite side of the road to normal, when travelling towards Ashington/Morpeth.
When alighting, passengers can travel around the loop in either direction to reach their terminus.
Evening and Sunday buses will continue to run as present, terminating at Seacrest Road via Sandy Bay in both directions.
Service 43 – Newcastle to Cramlington and Morpeth
Service will be reinstated to operate up to every 15 minutes during Monday to Friday daytimes between Newcastle and Cramlington with journeys continuing to Morpeth hourly. There is no change to evening or Sunday timetables.
Service 44 – Newcastle to Dinnington
There will be minor timetable changes to this service during Monday to Friday daytimes.
Service 45 – Newcastle to Dinnington
There will be minor timetable changes to this service during Monday to Friday daytimes.
Service 55 – Newcastle to Forest Hall
Service will be improved to operate up to every 20 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes. There is no change to evening or Sunday timetables.
306 / 308 – Newcastle to Whitley Bay and Blyth
These services will reinstated to operate every 15 minutes on each route during Monday to Friday daytimes and every 20 minutes on each route on Saturday daytimes – giving a bus along the Coast Road every 7/8 minutes Mon to Fri daytimes and every 10 minutes Saturday daytimes. There is no change to evening or Sunday timetables.
Services X21/X22 Newcastle to Ashington and Newbiggin
These services will be reinstated to operate every 20 minutes on each route (or every 10 minutes on common sections of route) during Monday to Friday daytimes. Saturday journeys will continue to run every 30 minutes (or every 15 minutes along common sections of the route).
We urge passengers to read a more detailed update on this change here.
Service X30 – Newcastle to Blyth and Bebside (from Tuesday 31 August)

Am I right in thinking they are cutting most evening services. Looked in my local route and the last bus towards redcar quarter to 8 however there 2 later buses inbound last one arriving at half past 9?

Looking at timetables for Monday 27th September, there appear to be a few frequency/timetable changes across the ADC network:
2: Increase to every 10 minute frequency, with associated retiming of most journeys to allow for this.
4: Increase to every 15 minute frequency, with associated retiming of most journeys to allow for this.
6: Retiming of a few peak journeys.
17: Slight retiming of a few journeys.
23: Slight retimings of some journeys.
63: Increase to every 10 minute frequency.
X12: Resumes every 30 minute frequency north of Durham. Times otherwise appear the same.
X17: One extra journey in each direction.
X46: Retiming of some outbound evening journeys.
It's highly possible that I've missed some smaller changes, skipped a couple of routes, or routes haven't had the full data uploaded yet.
