What sort of traffic issues affect the 5 after 7pm?

Dont get why the 28 is changing it's timings for Nunthorpe school 6 weeks before the school actually changes itself.

Not mentioned previously, as Arriva have made zero reference to it... Darlington services 5 & 7 are back to their pre Aycliffe Interchange diversion timetables/frequencies today (although the diversion remains in place for the time being as predictably the roadworks aren't finished).

So basically, 7 is every 15 mins but as far as anyone knows, it's still every 20 and pretty much guaranteed to be late running till Aycliffe at least.

The first journeys on the 5 on evening times have historically ran late daily due to a huge cut in running times - tweaking this will massively help keep them on time!

It kills two birds with one stone. They only need to make one lot of service changes and the school can inform the kids and parents before they break up for summer of the change.
