In defence of the 21 it is an incredibly busy service particularly between Chester and Newcastle and it does justify a return to its original ‘21’ frequency

Let’s not forget that in parts the Chester Birtley Low Fell corridor once boasted the 735, 709, 728, 221, 231, 724, 722, 723 Cross Tyne, 183 and others and has been basically cut to a 21

One question I’d have is I’d assume the electric bid went on current frequency so you’ll still be seeing cast offs running the 21
