(29 Dec 2021, 2:57 pm)Keeiajs I concur many of times I have heard people mention how nice the 21's are, I was even on a OmniDekka coming from Brandon (Nevels Cross) as I didn't want to get on the 21, due to School Services at Durham, and I heard people saying, they are much nicer, spacious buses and that as from buses older than what Arriva puts on.

But tbh It would be nice to get a hourly service from the 21 whcih terminates at Durham. to have a every 12min Frequency.

Appreciating we're getting off-topic here, but it'd be a huge (and unrealistic) leap to go from providing a half-hourly link to Brandon to a bus every 12 minutes.

If the current reduced frequency on the 21 remains (every 10 mins during the day instead of every 7), I would like to think that should demand continue to rise, that a bus every 20 minutes could be provided (i.e. every 10 mins to Chester-le-Street, then every 20 beyond there to Durham & Brandon).

With a BSIP/EP, this could then be complemented by Arriva's 49 running every 20 mins, to provide a service every 10 mins between Durham and Brandon between the 21 and 49, possibly even with integrated ticketing.

This is the more likely approach to service development in the future.
