I still dunno why its being changed to the 57,ive been giving it some thought and i just dont get it,is it to keep the brand fresh,are the versas in a bad shape that they cant run the full journey to hadrian park,or simply just cus they want to,on a side note its gonna be nice seeing mercs over here again on this route cus some of them coming across actually served most of their lives on the 58 before going on the old 43/44 in 2012

The 58 is going to operate every 12 minutes according to the new timetable online, so you could not have every other one like now going to Hadrian Park and the service must not warrant everyone going to Hadrian Park, so replace that section of route with the 57 that operates on a 20 minute frequency as the Hadrian Park extension does now so the service is maintained, quite simple really

Am sorry to ask and change the subject X21 on Sunday is it still done by Chester le street or by crook depot

Evening and Sunday X21's are done by Chester-le-Street depot interworking with the 21 using the Angel Hybrids.

The evening and Sunday operation of service X21 runs from Chester-le-Street, using the "Angel" branded Hybrids (interworking with service 21 at Durham).

Are they to be mixed between depots or all allocated to the same depot?
It's been said on here Chester-Le-Street could receive them.
