Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
(25 Apr 2021, 2:44 pm)L469 YVK Pre March 2020:
- X21/X22 = 15x
- 35 = 5x
Total = 20x
Current:
- 35/X21/X22 = 14x
Total = 14x
Fair enough, I got it wrong but 6x vehicles is still a hefty number. If the changes are temporary, fair enough.
The 'old' X20 didn't work for the simple reason that the X21 was just 'easier' considering it was relatively quick back then and ran every 20 minutes. That's changed now it has some parity & commonality with the X22. The old X20 would likely have been unreliable given the fact it was also standalone.
Introducing the X19 and cannibalising the section of the X21 (with extra journeys) between Ashington & Newbiggin would make sense.
