I like how on the timetable they've got the map of the local maps to show exactly which way the bus goes, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how confusing the route to Tindale Crescent is.
Even as someone who travels there several times a day, the more I look at the map the more I get confused. Imagine if you didn't know the area!

It doesn't look too confusing to be honest. The lighter shade of blue kind of outlines the route that it takes going the other way.

It's the bit where it overlaps that confuses me, and it clearly confuses the drivers because it's happened a couple times that the drivers have gone the wrong way and had to reverse back down the road to take the turning onto Lusby Crescent

(15 Aug 2019, 4:38 pm)streetdeckfan I mean, it does cross the Tyne Bridge so it's not technically out of place. There's the bridge plus 4 castles, but they used such a low resolution image you can't actually see!
Id guess the X30/X31 are still Toonlink because the new buses won't be here in time for the new timetable, so I'd expect another timetable change soon.
The timetables seem to change more regularly than the buses actually turning up
Just had another look and there is a picture of the vinyl to the left of picture of the bus 
yes can see the 4 castles now lmao

(16 Aug 2019, 8:10 am)Jimmi Problem is in previous years I think the routes that have run round Woodhouse have all been circular services to/from Bishop Town Centre so now the routes are getting revised to run Town Centre to Tindle etc just end up being strange as owt due to locations of bus stops within Woodhouse. The map actually looks okay to me but it is just one of those peculiar routes due to the way things are round Woodhouse, never understood why the 6 goes down one road West Auckland bound but then a different road Durham bound.

I don't think it would be viable at all considering the late journeys they make at the minute are usually dead. I mean, I've been on it a few times when I'm the only one on from from Durham to Bishop
All I want is for the late evening X21 and 6 to line up so I don't have to wait 40 minutes in Bishop for the 6 because I'd rather not pay ~£4.50 from Durham to Tindale when I can just pay the £1.40 from Bishop to Tindale and just use my GNE pass. But that would never happen because they're both hourly and I guess GNE will want the passengers that have missed the 6 (and vice versa for Arriva)

It seemed pretty popular whenever I saw it go past, so I'd guess it will be
