While out and about today I noticed that with the latest timetables they now show the X21 as only going to Durham rather than continuing onto Newcastle.

Surely that isn't going to be very good for passenger numbers!

Strangely, at Bishop Bus Station, it shows Newcastle![Image: 81bd08cfb44dff533ba3eefaad9a2124.jpg]

I imagine the X21 issue is down to the route split at Durham, like the X9/X10 is separated at Dalton Park/Peterlee. As for why it changes at different stops is clearly DCC just having a few issues! I noticed at Seaham Byron Place, the Interchange Stand C lists the 65 and the 265! There’ll be a long wait for the latter…

Is that a new style of bus stop info panel for Durham? I seem to recall seeing a chronological list of departure time, route and final destination, but not much else, whereas these are far more reminiscent of those around Newcastle.

Yes, it is. It's definitely an improvement over the old ones which were nigh on impossible to understand.

They're still not as good as Nexus timetables, but I'll take it!

All the 65 stops have the 265 on.

The stop by the college didn't even have the 21 on it for most of last year. The quality control is somewhat lacking!

They've become a mess of late for inaccuracies, timetables in Newton Aycliffe had the works 952 as being ran by The Eden instead of Ferryhill Village Travel for a while (now correct since 7 changed in August/September)
