X66 is experiencing delays. No doubt due to Stockton Riverside Festival and there was some issue just outside Great Burden which has affected my journey.
As discussed in the Ashington redevelopments thread, the stand changes in Ashington bus station are as follows;
Valid SUNDAY 2ND AUGUST BETWEEN 0800 AND 1300
1 to Cresswell and Blyth: Outside the Carpet Shop opposite Asda
X21 to Newbiggin: Outside the Carpet Shop opposite Asda
X21/X22 to Newcastle: Outside the Carpet Shop opposite Asda
35 to Newbiggin: Outside the Carpet Shop opposite Asda
35 to Morpeth: Outside Sports Direct as before

(01 Aug 2015, 1:38 pm)Jimmi The thing is this is becoming far too common and it should not be happening, you'd be confused into this route is like the 685, X12 or X93 some days the timetable is so poor, even the 21/X21 can stick close to its timetable and is a far more demanding route than the 5/5A which mostly runs round council estates.
Hope I can reply in the same way next time you are complaining that your Metro is late

(01 Aug 2015, 1:42 pm)Dan Haha - well I only tend to moan about the Metro now when it's over 12 minutes late!
Appreciate it's probably more irritating for you as you're the one who has to take into consideration the delays on services 5/5A prior to travelling, though.

(01 Aug 2015, 2:14 pm)S813 FVK 7474 does carry a rear advert but it isn't for the national trust. More pinkish.

(04 Aug 2015, 2:18 pm)GX03 SVC No, that's there for refurbishment at Thornton's, I assume. Can't have red Arriva buses with London blinds on the 35 now, can we?
