When I arrived back in Durham there was a Pulsar blinded up for the 22 on the layover stand with a familiar face behind the wheel.The X21 is not a bad service..
On a previous Sunday it was 5 minutes late and was made even later by me as I got on at Dalton Park and had to question where it was heading as there was no 22 to Sunderland due for a good while but that's what the bus was displaying and I couldn't understand the drivers responses when I asked where he was going, this is the effect a wrong destination screen can have!
Not just Sundays either, that afternoon you saw me at Dalton Park I got on the 22 around 5 minutes and just missed the 21 in Peterlee Bus Station, but thankfully I caught the 21 at Peterlee Moorcock.
So when I use the 22 it's usually around 5 minutes late, although I normally use the X21 between Peterlee and Sunderland, so I don't use the 22 very often these days.
Sometimes if I am in Peterlee and going back to Seaham, depending on the time I sometimes get the X21 to Ryhope Village to jump on the 238...Doing that is just as quick as waiting an extra 15 mins for the X7
