Go North East: Major Service Changes July 2022
(24 Jul 2022, 8:28 pm)Tiger5105 Well 6351 has been missing in action for approx 3 weeks and numerically, would fit for X10. Who knows.I doubt it. Consett have a Euro 6 PVR of 19x (45/X30/X31/X45/X71/X72). So with 13x of the 14x out of 6338-51 in service, that leaves 1x spare. And on top of that, 6336-37 will also be needed to ensure a suitable spare ratio to cover a PVR of 19x.

Has anyone been lucky enough to ride a changed service today?

Not sure what's exactly wrong with having interworking patterns that actually work.
Personally I'd rather have a bus on time than a correct allocated bus. The day branded buses die and they start regulating buses by just swapping everything over like Arriva do at Haymarket, Blyth and Durham with a bus on standby to drop in rather than turning things around short needs to come. It's a hell of a lot better system imo and would easily work somewhere like Park Lane.
Not sure if it happens at Darlington or Middlesbrough, anyone know?
I'm curious as to why the 20 needed to be split in two, as the replacement 24 appears to interwork with every route they could tag onto it. Surely this only increases the chances of delays and cancellations over more routes?

(24 Jul 2022, 10:53 pm)Storx tbh not sure it was done for reliability reasons. Think it was more so they could upgrade the 50 to Deckers and pull the 26 out. There wasn't anyway of doing it under the old 5/9/26 combination without changeovers outside of Sunderland.Pretty sure the 9 has like a 15-20 minute layover in Sunderland. So reliability shouldn't be a massive issue.
