Solo on 64 to Sherburn seen at Durham about 12:35, don't think that's particularly common.
4653 seen on service 24 at Peterlee today, also 1430 and another u/i/d out on the 22.

New timetables for Arriva North East 22/23/24 for October 27th 2013.
I've been out and about on the recently changed services in Newcastle, and this is what I saw:
51 - The link from north Whitley Bay to Newcastle isn't really used, but the services is quite busy for local journeys. I rode the service from Newcastle to Whitley Bay and it was busy from Newcastle to Wiltshire Drive, then quiet to ASDA, average from ASDA to Shiremoor, quiet from Shiermoor to Newsteads Drive, and average the rest of the way. It is allocated Solos.
52 - Not a busy service at all. I was the only one on from Killingworth to Four Lane Ends, but a few got on at Freeman Hospital. It is allocated anything, but mainly B10BLEs.
54 - This is a very busy service, especially Killingworth to Whitley Bay. The service left full from Killingworth, and it was well used the rest of the way. The Killingworth to Newcastle has average passenger numbers. It is usually operated by Pulsars.

4663 was on her knees with front suspension problems at Peterlee at around 3:15 having come of the 24 from Durham. What on earth are they doing to these busses?!

Service changes in Northumberland from 27th October are described here
Some of the main points see service 35 become 35/35A and frequency is increased to every 15 mins between Morpeth and North Seaton.
Service X15 sees the 1943 Newcastle-Morpeth extended to Alnwick.
I understand that an outstation at Alnwick will open shortly.

Price Enquiry:
Does anybody know how much will it cost me if I travel from Peterlee to Sunderland 5 days a week in the morning and make the return journeys from Sunderland to Peterlee in the evening, and is there a weekly saver ticket that I can purchase on the Arriva bus between Peterlee and Sunderland?.

(29 Sep 2013, 10:46 am)W179SCU A 2-Zone buzzfare is £24, but yeah, I would get the £25 ticket, as there is a bus every 15 minutes from Sunderland to Peterlee.
