So there'll be no stop between the Three Tuns stop on the Old Elvet/New Elvet junction and Maiden Castle on all 56/57/57A/X12 outbound journeys, as there isn't a stop on Hallgarth Street. The 6 will continue to serve Church Street and South Road, but there'll not be a bus observing the Palatine Centre (Science Site) anymore on outbound trips.
That'll confuse a lot of students.
And completely wreck the pokemon experience.

Would imagine similar changes would be implemented to the 5A on evenings and Sundays as the frequency combines with the 7 between Darlington and Newton Aycliffe.
Only the first afternoon Framwellgate Moor trip really picked anybody up from my experiences anyway and odd Fram - Durham passenger.
Not a surprise, since all the frM extensions seem to operate within a few minutes of each other. Unless someone has a route specific ticket. The only benefit if catching a particular bus is avoiding having to cross high Carr road or Finchale Road at rush hours.
