(14 Oct 2016, 8:13 pm)Tom I think it's odd too considering the Arriva services leave from park lane and are more regular. I reckon they will loose a few passengers because of it myself.

(14 Oct 2016, 8:25 pm)Michael I would imagine they'll still go in to Park Lane, wonder if they'll go down Holmeside then down Atheneum street then along Fredrick street then finally on to Borough road.
So they'll only enter Park Lane going towards Peterlee etc

(14 Oct 2016, 8:48 pm)Michael True, would be easier... Can u share anymore details on these changes?
(14 Oct 2016, 8:52 pm)Dan Nope!
Go North East has provided ample notice for service changes as of late - based on the commencement dates, I don't think we'll have to wait too long before details hit the public domain.

I'm wondering if there's going to be changes to the TTX. I'd given up on the X7 to boro because I could never get a seat!

I'd given up on the X7 to boro because I could never get a seat!This is the thing that I can't get about the changes, an X7 has just passed me in Station Town heading towards Boro and most of the seats look to be filled, mind you can often see it leave Boro and Stockton with only a small handful at the same time though.

(15 Oct 2016, 11:54 am)Michael Have to remember the current X7 registration on VOSA is split:
Sunderland to Peterlee
Then
Peterlee to Middlesbough
The Peterlee to Middlesbough section might appear next week...

(15 Oct 2016, 11:58 am)S813 FVK Unlikely if they are sending other buses to Station Town and Wingate in place of the X7. Unless they are planning on omitting Wingate and serving Billingham and Stockton together? Might provide backup for the X9/X10 if something was to go wrong.

theres no really income for GNE if most of the passengers are pensioners who board for free, cant really see another registration for the southern end of the X7 (peterlee to Middlesbrough) since the originally registration has the service split at Peterlee bus station which is a main point rather than Oakerside Park.
(15 Oct 2016, 12:02 pm)Michael Not sure, but if that section of the route is popular then it seems daft dropping it, the X9/X10 are busy anyway, what if it ends up where people are always left behind, maybe the X7 was a back up route for them?
Still think they should keep the X7 on that section of the route but hey, what do i know?, i don't know the passenger numbers etc
--------
If the Blaydon Racers are getting Streetlites, i wonder if the Citaro's will end up on the X5 and X6 then, so all of them are allocated Citaro's (along with the X7), offering WIFI?

(15 Oct 2016, 11:54 am)Michael Have to remember the current X7 registration on VOSA is split:Can't see there being a second registration for the X7 considering the fact that the registration we have seen for the X7 has the service as terminating at Peterlee Oakerside Park which seems a random place for it to terminate, unless you were going to bypass Peterlee Bus Station entirely, surely you would split the service at Peterlee Bus Station rather than a random place in the Peterlee area. Considering the fact that the 202 will be extended Station Town does make me think the X7 will no longer run beyond Peterlee.
Sunderland to Peterlee
Then
Peterlee to Middlesbough

(15 Oct 2016, 12:17 pm)cbma06 I hope there would be enough citarios for service X5/X6/X7 and have them as a new brand, wouldn't be surprised that this new X7 be operated by Indigo solos.
