Are the x21/x22 changes at the Southend of the routes?

Ok, are there taking the x22 out of Pennine drive and put it down burnhope way past the college same as the x21? Or is the x22 swapping in Peterlee with the 22 route? Or am I not close

All I know is that the X21/22 will operate the same route within the Peterlee area.
Also on the X22 there will be other change to route on early and late runs.

Was the fresh air express back when it did a few trips a day, there's a reason why it got cut back again... Just get the 22 if you want a shorter trip from Peterlee Bus Station to Durham

Believe Darlington lose operation of service ED4 as a result of the X21 being curtailed at Peterlee.

I’ve heard a rumour that the ED4 will be linked with 23/24 operations with the curtailment of the X21 at Peterlee only.

I read somewhere that the ED4 is off back to Durham in October, also there will be some more route changes in Darlington when amazon opens, as the new road is open and there’s bus stops along that road

Can somebody tell me the point in curtailing the X21 between Peterlee and Sunderland. Now if someone has to get from Darlington to seaham will have to get an explorer or 2 separate singles or returns or if you're going to Sunderland swap to a longer bus and get an arriva day ticket or a quick bus and get an explorer or separate tickets. They clearly didn't think of that.

The way I’m thinking is that the X21 between peterlee and Sunderland is running at a loss, many people just use any bus to Sunderland rather than the X21 which is one bus a hour, pretty sure at one point the X6 or X7 used to run minutes in front of the X21

The 22 and 23 stop in Peterlee anyway, so no need to change buses?

The 22 running just in front of X21 at Sunderland wouldn’t help the situation either, quite a few times I’ve seen the 22, 23, X21 and X7 all going to Sunderland within a few minutes.
Most passengers mainly pass holders will catch the first bus that turns up, quite a few times I’ve seen the X21 going to and from Sunderland carrying fresh air.
At the moment I do believe that there too many buses going to Sunderland from Peterlee BS.

There’s not that many buses between Peterlee and Sunderland, don’t forget there do go different ways between the 2 destinations, back in United days there were practically a bus every 5 minutes on the Peterlee Corridor with United/Northern/OK and JHM Travel

Does anybody know the route changes in Peterlee for the services that are changing?

The vast majority of all the buses that go to Sunderland now do so via Dalton Park with a few local diversions, expect the GNE 55 but who would use that to Sunderland.
The bottom line is all the buses seem to arrive at Peterlee at approx the same time to go to Sunderland then there is nothing for the next 30mins.
It’s similar situation on the Peterlee - Hartlepool sections.
In reality there is not the amount of people traveling to fill all these buses.
A lot of the time the bus companies are just pinching each other’s passengers.
