Can you get deckers up Curly Kews in Kirkhill?

(09 Mar 2016, 8:38 am)GX03 SVC wrote Can you get deckers up Curly Kews in Kirkhill?

Yes, but overhanging trees may pose some difficulty.  Deckers used to be common (there was a daily Bingo bus) but not for some time.  An X18 was diverted that way on Remembrance Sunday and coped OK

Who clears overhanging branches?

I presume that the bus operator reports these to the 'local' highways (county council)?

Or do operators have their own teams of tree surgeons?

You have the makings of a tongue twister, there.

Down to the councils but sometimes they can't get it done because it's someone else's land who plays silly buggers... Such as the long running dispute between Loftus & Easington!

Great!! Does anybody have a feeling Mad Mouse (the old 30A/31A) coming back, they've tried this before and it got withdrawn because of low passenger use age so what's going to be different this time?

I'm going with it just being a hourly service 3 on evenings and Sundays using the daytime route, can't see it being like the old 30A/31A which served Hummersknott and Abbey Road which was similar to the Scarlet Band 16 route to the town centre. Should be intresting to see how this does as I think the old 30A/31A went when Darlington Borough Council stopped subsidising the service. Unsure what you'd have the 4 interwork with on a Sunday now unless the 3's were split like the 12's are on Sunday's at Darlington Town Centre.

Should be intresting to see what the rest of the changes will be...

Shame they can't just put a 'standing order' in to change the 63 every couple of months.

Wonder what the X21/X22 changes are? (Sunderland to Peterlee)

(18 Mar 2016, 5:04 pm)Michael wrote Wonder what the X21/X22 changes are? (Sunderland to Peterlee)

And the X66/67 already.

(18 Mar 2016, 5:35 pm)Cock Robin wrote And the X66/67 already.

The night time service 66 is apparently getting withdrawn and you now have a new service 3 to mowden on a evening and Sunday

So during the week you will do

5a to bishop and back
3 to mowden
3 to skerne park
And then back to the 5A

Sunday evenings will probably be the same as during the day and operate 3 skerne park to mowden all day rather than working a 4 to minors crescent and then a 3 to skerne park

If that makes any sense at all

Hopefully those peak runs are brought back but like this.
The stockton run normal route to Sunderland
Does x21 at 0835 to middlesbrough reason for this is that the x22 serves seaham.i do hope its those runs brought back rather than more cuts to the service

Unlikely - the bus that used to do the 21a/X21 turn from Stockton does the Framwellgate Moor X12 then onto 21a at 0921 in Sedgefield.

X21/X22 to Sunderland no change 21 minor times adjustment NO change in route

Edit: 

Conformation that Arriva have lost the 82/83

The changes for service x21/x22 most journeys retimed by 5 minutes

Changes for service 22 and 24, just minor timetable amendments for the knock on effect to find a better slot for service 21a between Middlesbrough and Stockton

Cheers for the info cbma =)

Hoping the new timetables will be up soon as many of the services I use are set to have their timetables changed on May 15th. Fingers crossed it won't cause many/any problems for me!

service X21/X22 times:

I'm guessing this will mean that the 21/21A times will also get pushed back by around 5 minutes.

If that is the case, it should be intresting to see if/how this will impact the times of the 5/5A, 7 and 8 as they are currently timed to run roughly every 7/8 minutes between Darlington and Newton Aycliffe.

Why do they need a better slot between Mbro and Stockton? Would have thought that was the least important part of the route.
