*except when they've had to pull the evening journeys from Quaking Houses because of issues with badly parked vehicles

(20 Oct 2021, 4:00 pm)Thomas12 There's that, but there is the problem of reliability. I remember when one of the M services was extended to Lanchester it was quickly replaced by the 30 due to the reliability issues.If another E400MMC was available, would extending the X30/X31 (1ph) not have been a better option?

(20 Oct 2021, 7:22 pm)Arcticrossy92 The X30/X31 originally came into Lanchester with one of them heading to Burnhope then stanley, and the other going through Greencroft and Annfield PlainBack in the “West Durham Swift” era when the Scania Omnicities were new wasn’t it?
One of the reasons I learnt to drive was when they culled it in favour of the first incarnation of service 30.

(20 Oct 2021, 7:24 pm)Storx I haven't looked at the rotas but I could imagine the extra hour could push the whole rota very close to the limit of driving hours. Believe it's about 4 hours currently with it's interworking pattern. Also the X30 doesn't go in and then go back out as an X30.If the X70/X71/X72 ever got made standalone (PVR 7) from the X30/X31 (PVR 5 if Stanley - Newcastle only) for reliabilty reasons (not sure how they're performing), extending the X30/X31 would make sense.

If traffic gets back to normal, some of the 42D timings are ambitious.

Stagecoach's X24 / X24A / X34 are also rerouted from the same date.
Maybe they've done enough work for it to be useable by buses.
