(28 Sep 2021, 1:33 pm)Dan East Durham Community Transport are vacating the premises this week, so it's now being leased directly to Go North East (rather than sub-leased).
There are re-fuelling facilities at Peterlee now.
, probably take more of 10 point uturn to turn the coaches round though, and more high security fencing.(28 Sep 2021, 1:33 pm)Dan East Durham Community Transport are vacating the premises this week, so it's now being leased directly to Go North East (rather than sub-leased).

(28 Sep 2021, 1:40 pm)cbma06 Cheers for info Dan, didn’t realise EDCT were vacating.X9/X10 based at Peterlee isn't the worst shout tbh.
Good reason to have the Coaches from the X9/X10 to be stabled at the halfway mark in Peterlee

(28 Sep 2021, 8:25 pm)RobinHood What exactly are you suggesting they purchase?I think he was suggesting something GNE could do. And have a perfect base for them a peterlee it was nothing but discussion. And why not sell 22/23/24, its not like DB cares.
22/23/24 are commercial routes, suggesting they make money. Why would Arriva offload them?
Maybe they will swap for the 21? Probably similar PVR?
Thought not.

Yep, the 22 made a big improvement and increased patronage when Arriva doubled the frequency to half hourly. The perfect case study for investing in a route in an area where it would be appreciated.
I know I had more faith in it. If one didn't turn up, a half hour wait is less bad (and less likely to end in a taxi fare) than an hour gap.
I'm finding myself with a similar mentality with. The 64, now. I've been used to every 10 minutes. Now it's every 15 and some don't show up. I really cba for a 2km journey. I'll walk if it's not uphill and I'm not sore, or catch the first suitable service to get me up the hill to the hospital, then walk the rest.
