Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes

Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes

(06 Sep 2016, 5:54 pm)Michael wrote Oh i thought it was later in the year not October for the roadworks to be complete, they've gone quick.

And at the back end of August the roundabout was still flat!

Still, if they do get finished by October, it will have only been 6 months (albeit 1 month over the estimated length) but that's better than the Leadgate bridge works. 6 months they said when they closed it in May 2015 and over a year later they are still not finished. They have, however, said that they should have it completed by December this year.

I didn't get to see what was on the X20 last night as I was on the 494. I'll have a look tonight though.

Here is what was on the 494 last night - the 494 runs off board 35D and is allocated a Wright StreetLite.

Better than Heworth Metro Tongue 

PS Is that still on?

I'd prefer it if they served the areas they serve alone properly instead of putting up competition against other companies on a route that has very low passenger numbers already.

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
(03 Sep 2016, 11:34 am)tyresmoke wrote Looks like a renumber of the 21/21A to X21/X22 - potentially the first step to them becoming Max services too? They're not exactly express though...
(03 Sep 2016, 11:38 am)Jimmi wrote Looks like they are just renumbering the 21 as X21 and 21A as X22 between Darlington/Middlesbrough and Peterlee.

And the times for the X22 are now available on the app:

The 0716 from Sedgefield will now start in Stockton at 0653 and run 5 minutes later from Sedgefield to Peterlee arriving at 0805 (currently 0800)
The 1720 from Peterlee to Stockton is retimed to depart at 1725 and is extended to Middlesbrough arriving at 1850.

The X21 will also revert to operate direct via Burnhope Way avoiding Pennine Drive while the X22 will continue to do so.

Also of interest is the re-routing of the X21 between Sunderland and Peterlee to operate via the current X22 route via Dawdon and Seaham. The journey time between Peterlee and Sunderland is now 31 minutes. Also now offering later journeys - the last departure from Sunderland will now be 1946 (currently 1830). That one carries on to Newton Aycliffe arriving 2108 (the current last departure off Peterlee also still terminate at Newton Aycliffe).

Was not expecting that!

Presumably Arriva are somewhat hoping to compete with the Go North East X7 which I don't think is the worst idea considering that the X7 seems to carry a fair few passengers between Peterlee and Seaham Byron Place.

It's not quite the current X22 route to Sunderland as it'll still run via Essington Way to reach the A19 after Peterlee Bus Station. X21 will still run via Pennine Drive on Sundays. Also according to the timetable the last journey on Saturday's from Sunderland will be the 18:30 to Newton Aycliffe.

That's annoying, then because I used to be able to hop on the X21 and get to Peterlee before the 22 I'd invariably missed! (I think they messed that timing up with the last lot of changes, mind)

I can't find the Peterlee-Sunderland info in that link.
No idea what it's like on the app but the timetable should be there on the website if you look for it, the full X21 timetable for the full route between Darlington and Sunderland on the X21 timetable page, X21 and X22 times should be on the 21/21A page. The PDF timetables are in typical fashion a absolute mess, Peterlee - Sunderland section is just dumped randomly within the timetable probably after Newton Aycliffe Town Centre again!
RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes
After months of deliberation the joint changes between SC Cumbria and Arriva for the 685 Carlisle-Newcastle corridor finally come into action from November 11th, fresh new special brand for the vehicles as well as better timetable between the companies for better coordination.

The Sunderland journeys do fall further up the timetable (sadly).

It appears further improvements to the X22 as well on the Saturday timetable:
  • The 0831 from Sedgefield will now start in Stockton at 0803
  • The 0931 from Sedgefield will start in Middlesbrough at 0850
  • As per the weekday timetable, 1720 from Peterlee to Stockton will leave Peterlee at 1725 and will extend to Middlesbrough arriving at 1850

Ah - when i tried to get the pdf timetable, it gave me the current one.

And when I looked at the online timetable, it didn't have the third column each hour, with the s'land-p'lee times!
