Due to resurfacing works peak time service 16A will be unable to serve the route between West Park and Newton Aycliffe so will only operate between Darlington Town Centre and West Park Hospital.
More info about Burtree Gate and Heighington diversion for the 16A and Arriva 1/1B/X1.

To me it seems like the 16/16A will continue beyond June given that no cancellation registration has appeared on on VOSA. Also I saw a notice on YT51EAY on the 113 saying that the fares have increased from April 20th on service 16 which said they felt they had to do this due to the running costs etc. we hope you continue to use our reliable popular service.
At least it appears that the 16/16A has a future?
Additionally there has been fare revisions on services 110, 111, 112, 113 and X49 and I think it gave the same reasons as above.

(17 May 2015, 9:21 pm)cbma06 Yes, can't serve Hutton Henry Hartlepool bound due the service won't be able to get out of Hutton Henry onto a19 southbound due to having to go right across the carriageway of northbound traffic, the bus would be sitting up to half an hour to try and get out.

Driver currently on the 33 got out for a tab at Ferryhill and just told us to get on and ended up blowing smoke into the bus. Also he is driving with headphones in listening to something on his phone which I think is illegal.
Not happy about this.
EDIT: I may be wrong but he appears to be speaking to someone on the phone.

I do remember a bloke that used to drive the X85 years ago, and he'd often have his boom box on some of the quieter evening runs. Those were the days!
