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).
