Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2015

The X1 is tight and have been noticing it arriving in Darlington late.

5/5A is nearly always late whatever time of the day you are using it, when I use this service it is always around 5 minutes late during the daytime. Hopefully something gets done soon as it is becoming increasingly annoying waiting for this service and is almost never on-time when by some miracle the service isn't late it can be anything up to 5 minutes early. Evening timetable is incredibly tight.

8/8A Darts are prone to breakdowns.

56 always seems to be late heading to Bishop Auckland from Ferryhill.

21A often spot this one running late when arriving in Middlesbrough and often leaves late too.

22 sometimes late.

23 only 30 minute breaks for drivers which means late departures if a bus arrives late.

X12/X2 already explained my thoughts on this.

X93 simply down to the nature of the route.

1s and 5s due to be changed as a result of service changes in Darlington anyway
21A I usually find has more than enough time, just some of it can be in the wrong place. You can leave Middlesbrough late and be back on time by Sedgefield usually however. The only time I ran late throughout was because of leaving Mbro 10+ late... usually back on time by Peterlee to come back though! Can't comment on most of the others having very little experience of them. Stockton's punctuality figures vs Durham's figures on the X12 are an eye opener and I'd love to know why that is the case.
