Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(24 May 2023, 3:56 pm)Jimmi Found more Durham County proposals online, this time is for the 22/23 in Peterlee:
22 - hourly Durham to Sunderland with all trips via Easington Colliery, one journey an hour renumbered 22B running via Acre Rigg in Peterlee running Durham to Peterlee only. Late evening buses proposed withdrawal.
23 - half hourly Hartlepool - Peterlee, hourly Hartlepool - Sunderland. Some journeys to become 'college days only' to enable buses to operate 'East Durham College' contracts.
X22 - no longer serving Acre Rigg in Peterlee (no other publicly info avaliable on the X21/X22 as yet which I've seen at least).

(24 May 2023, 5:17 pm)Michael Doesn't surprise me tbh, thought the full routes would have been removed from Sunderland.I only use the 23 when the trains are affected by strikes. It’s a terribly long service , no wonder people don’t use it. If only there was a commercial need for an express route to Sunderland.

I've heard there a few changes coming into Redcar. Including the removal of the X3 and 81 services in their entirety and the Redcar depot closing with operations transferring to Stockton...
(24 May 2023, 4:25 pm)Unber43 GNE X6 should be made every 30 mins now

(25 May 2023, 9:14 am)Kuyoyo X21 is withdrawn entirely. The X22 will be increased to every 30 minutes between Peterlee and Sedgefield in addition to the revised route within Peterlee. However, this increase on that section comes at the cost of the Middlesbrough-Stockton section which will be reduced to peak-times only when additional vehicle resources are available. No mention yet regarding the council-supported evening journeys.
Huge amount of changes planned for the Bishop area - in addition to the rerouting of the 1 via Tindale and the extension of the 56 down to Tindale, the 5/5a will be merged into a single service 5 which will operate via the current 5 route between Bishop and Middridge then the current 5a route from Middridge to Darlington maintaining the current frequencies but the Sunday evening journeys are withdrawn. Likewise, the 6 is revised to operate between Durham and West Auckland only during the off peak every 20 minutes with Cockfield only served at peak times (journeys from Cockfield on a morning, journeys to Cockfield on an afternoon) and the Barnard Castle peak journey is withdrawn.
The peak time extensions to Framwellgate Moor for New College are also revised - the morning journeys on the 6 will continue but the afternoon journeys plus all journeys on the 7 are withdrawn.
In addition, the 'loan' work at Stockton depot - the 2 X12 boards from Durham that moved on loan last summer (not the ones that moved down in 2020 and 2021) as well as Darlington's full share of the X66 - will return to their home depots, with one of the 2 X12 boards moving likely to be operated in similar style to that of the Darlington-operated X66, with 7539 allocated. The X66 changes meanwhile, will be the one surprise of these changes.......

(25 May 2023, 9:50 am)streetdeckfan Will all journeys operate between Durham and West Auckland, or will there still be the ones that terminate at Bishop?

(25 May 2023, 1:07 pm)cbma06 Thanks for the info,
Don’t know if I’m reading it right or wrong, but does it mean the x22 proposed to be every half hour between sedgefield and Peterlee only (but hourly extension from sedgefield to the boro as normal?

(25 May 2023, 1:10 pm)tyresmoke Yeah but only going back as far as Stockton for most of the day, presumably to get the circuit inside the max driving time. Going to Middlesbrough would knock them over the 5h30 limit.The way I've worked it out, it would only be roughly a 4 hour round trip to do Stockton - Peterlee: Peterlee - Sedgefield - Peterlee: Peterlee - Stockton.

Someone mentioned to me earlier about 2 of Ashingtons SK72 E400MMCs transferring to Redcar for the summer season if that’s correct or not.
