and Magpie ("Magpies catch Diamonds" possible tag line?) promoting link to Durham Diamond service 16 at Stanley where previous Diamond 43/44 (which served Newcastle through to Durham) was split in half for service no. 6 (Ex other half part of Diamond 43/44) :
This would re-establish the link through to Durham albeit with change of bus at Stanley.

Daft thing is, catching the X30/31 then the diamond from NES to DBS often takes no longer than the Angel - if there's congestion on Durham road, the 65 minute journey soon becomes 75 minutes. Either way, whether I go via Stanley or straight through on the Angel, I catch the same bus home from Durham! (I normally only bother if I've missed the X21)
