Pre-Covid, the 57/57a interworked with the 43
The 43 is now once again entirely stand-alone
The 3 57 boards which leave Durham as 57s and return from Hartlepool as 57a (currently leaving Durham 3 minutes earlier than previous at xx27 and arriving back at the same time) now work onto the xx35 49 to Brandon. In contrast, the 3 boards which work the 57a out of Durham and return from Hartlepool as 57s now work onto the xx05 49a to Brandon.
As part of the minor timing changes to the routes operating out to Coxhoe (the 56/57/57a are leaving Durham Bus Station 3 minutes earlier than the pre-Covid timetables, the X12 is leaving Middlesbrough Bus Station 3 minutes earlier and running 3 minutes earlier to the Science Site, likewise outbound they are leaving Durham at the normal time but running 3 minutes later from the Science Site to Middlesbrough), the 56 is also now interworking with the 49/49a - journeys which don't connect in Bishop Auckland onto the 86 work onto the 49As at xx45 and xx25, the ones that do work to Toft Hill as 86s work the xx15 and xx55 49s.
One additional change is the last X4a from Middlesbrough to Easington at 2240 now works off the last 64a in from Grangetown, with the X4a arrival from Whitby at 2231 now working the 2240 63 to Redcar.
Does anybody happen to know what the evening service 6 journey to Barnard Castle works off? It doesn't track on bustimes so haven't had any luck in figuring it out! Thanks in advance
