Variation Accepted: Operating between Morpeth and Newcastle given service number X15 effective from 20-Mar-2016. To amend Route and Timetable.

Interesting... I wonder if these variations are to improve the services during the many road improvements/redevelopments in the area.

The X15 may be the service reverting back to Shilbottle, and as the Newcastle-Morpeth section sees variations there might be variations to the X14/5/6/8.

There isn't much route to change on the 33, nor the 35, as everything seems to be keeping well, the Demesne route in North Seaton sees decent passenger numbers.

57 is probably various timekeeping improvements, although some problems are mainly down to the drivers.

Can't really see much other than the above. If more services in the Ashington/Morpeth area come through it might be bigger changes than I expect.

What will posts like that do to their moral?

We were told it would affect moral when they read negative stuff.

I think most 57 passengers have had enough of the "old twat"... How you can leave Ashington on time, and arrive at Cramlington 17L is beyond me...then go SNIS along the same route to pick up time...

There's a difference between drivers who run late and drivers who run late:

Bad type: Deliberately driving slow and not to the permitted road and traffic conditions.

Good Type: LEGALLY (not speeding) driving to the permitted road and traffic conditions to try and keep the service to time as best as safe and legally possible.

The majority of drivers who run late fall in the latter category. It's only a VERY small minority who fall into the first category.

I've only experienced one of the first type

It wasn't so much his driving as the faffing at every stop despite being over 20 minutes late

The next driver cut that down to 5 minutes over the course of a 3 hour round trip

The links time out...they're really easy to find on the Arriva website!!! You just search for the service, click the scroll button which just shows the website times, then click on 'full details' in the top right and look below the timetable where it says a future timetable is available from Sun Feb 21 2016.

So just to clarify; enthusiasts aren't allowed to comment on depot operation, because they "don't know what goes on behind the scenes", yet someone not old enough to even hold a provisional licence is more than qualified to 'assess' the standards of a professional driver?

Just remember that we're all entitled to an opinion, without fear of being shot down.

Then thats a good type of driver who is trying to keep the service to time safely and legally despite the unfavourable conditions. It's only a VERY small minority who take the p**s.
