(29 Jul 2020, 9:42 am)Kuyoyo wrote Well, we're 4 days into the latest round of changes etc, so it seems as if we have the following work patterns developing:
Durham
57/57a continue to interwork with the 49/49a - 57a out of Durham and 57 return from Hartlepool works onto 49s while 57s out of Durham and 57As return from Hartlepool work onto 49As
Darlington
2As appear to be as followed:
[b]Sunday[/u]: The early trips are on the front of a 1/5/7 board (0629 and 0659 Northgate to Amazon and 0728/0758 from Amazon back, dropping onto the 0815 7), a X21/X26/X66 board (0619 and 0649 Northgate to Amazon, 0718/0748 return, then light to Richmond to work the first X26 into Darlington) and a 2 board (the remaining trips - starts on 2s at Branksome at 0842).
The afternoon extra trips are additional boards, as are the late evening trips
[b]Weekdays[/u]: The late evening trips from the town at 2214 and 2244 work off the last X75 from Barnard Castle, which now appears to be on the back of a 1 board - which then works the 2319 and 2349 return trips. The 2224 and 2254 trips from the town and the 2339 return appear to be an extra board which runs light from the depot and can throw up anything
While the 3s are still on the limited timetable, 19s remain standalone using 2 Solos which get 15 minute layovers in the town centre on every trip.
The 2224 and 2254 run off a X66 board and will also be the late staff bus driver as well, as they do 2 X66’s which does the 2025 from Boro to faverdale, have roughly 45 minutes off to then do 2 shuttles then late staff, but as you said it can throw up anything
