(30 Jun 2013, 7:48 am)Greg in Weardale wrote I think that the X21 Pronto should be re-branded OK Expressway and the ex OK1 Scanias used on that, which would speed it up. Also they should add one vehicle to the OK Way 18 and extend it to Evenwood and Cockfield which now get such a rubbish service on the Arriva 6, thus retaining the West Auckland - Bishop passengers who have used the OK1. But they haven't given the OK1 enough time to develop since they extended it to Middlesbrough. For that matter I think GNE alters services far too often and since changes in management over the last 18 months they have entered a less positive phase and cuts seem to prevail.
Maybe it's just me, but the X21 always seems to be quite busy between Durham and Chester, and then Chester and Newcastle?? Whenever I use it it seems to be the case. I don't think the single deck Scanias could cope with that.
