It's the same with the 62, 55 and X1 between Easington Lane and Peterlee. Seemingly no joined up thinking at all.
Deanmachine was on about two different operators deliberately timing different services to run alongside each other at certain points.
Agreed. Poor planning from the same operator should have been dealt with before it even made it onto the road. But it's just silly when the 30 pulls out from Blacks Cornerin East Boldon 1 minute in front of the 9 when it runs every 2 hours(!) on an evening. It happens elsewhere too, but I think that's probably the most ridiculous example I'm aware of, it's absolutely no help to passengers at all, and just makes the 30 look even worse when the 9 inevitably gets there first.
