Thanks for the additional information.

Seems odd having a Monday-Thursday timetable and then a Friday one.

It goes to Yarm - which is a traffic nightmare at the best of times. Friday is sometimes 10x worse. Hence why it currently has a PVR of 7 during the Friday daytime to give an extra 10 minutes layover in Stockton on paper, in reality that extra 10 minutes is extra running time.

You need it on 7s. They already have an extra bus employed on a Friday to try to improve punctuality. Friday is the worst day for Yarm traffic. Took me 15 mins from Tesco to the town hall on 88s on Friday just gone. You could walk it faster!
Oh right, as you can tell i don't venture out of Sunderland much haha

Do you know what the new route is between Durham and Newcastle for the X12?

The CSV doesn't give anything away sadly. Apart from, rather interestingly, it seems the 555 is being reduced from every 15 minutes to every 20 minutes.

To assist in the timekeeping of the service maybe?

It basically runs half hourly if you take into account the time it sits on Benton Park Road. 

Wonder if X12 will drop some of its Birtley and Harlow Green stops. One thing I did note is that when High St was closed the diversion via Prince Consort Rd to Shipcote was far far quicker, the X21 sometimes runs this way

From what I've heard so far, the only route change to the X12 is in Newcastle - but nothing more than that so far.

I wish they would make it stop on Newgate Street, it's a pain walking to Eldon Square or the stop after that. I still feel it was a mistake having it no longer stop at Plawsworth, as it often used to pick up passengers there (and the interior branding would be correct if Plawsworth was still served).

I wonder if they'd fancy a move to Haymarket? Route in and out via Percy St and St Mary's Place.

Knowing Arriva it'll be something mental like running via Askew and the Redheugh

There's so many pinch points in Newcastle these days that any route change or additional stop will add running time
There will be some changes made in relation to the 5 week Killingworth Road closure this summer. Stagecoach's 18 and X63 have also had changes registered in the last week.

The 555 is going from the Regent Centre also unless it already does?

The 555 is the dedicated Quorum shuttle for Four Lane Ends, I think you are thinking of the 553 or GNE 554?

On Michael's post on the other page it's got 555 Regent Centre to Quorum Business Park. So they might be extending the 555 to Regent Centre

The 555 runs between Four Lane Ends and Quorum only.

The 553 serves the Regent Centre, Running Regent Centre - Battle Hill/Wallsend Bus Station, |Funny thing about the 553 is the 06:33 off Regent Centre was a regular haunt of 2601, Which of course is allocated to the 6, And 2601 would be on the 6 later in the day, So I'm guessing this is a scheduled Rare Working that no one knows about.
Used to pass it every morning on Benfield Road while going to Work Experience.
