I thought you couldn't get them if you're travelling within the region. I know they're different cities, in different counties, but they're pretty close together.
Actually, looking it up they are separate areas so it would work, but it seems you would have to buy two separate tickets, one for Durham and one for Newcastle
Also, having had the misfortune many, many times of having to travel between Newcastle and Durham at peak times, I'd say there is definitely a need for more buses. It's not uncommon for 2-3 X21s, and the 21s inbetween to be absolutely packed by the time they get to Gateshead.

I don't understand why this isn't even mentioned in the summary of the changes, as this would actually count as a positive change. I thought anything that would be considered positive, they'd be wanting to shout from the rooftops about.

Even adding the 3 minutes to walk down to North Road it was less than 16 minutes.

Perhaps the reduced frequency or the much cheaper fares and reliability play it’s part.With GNE pulling out of Chester Le Street depot (although moving routes elsewhere), could this not be an opportunity for ANE to provide competition out of Belmont?
Probably not busy enough to reinstate its pre covid service pattern but it’s a very reliable service these days.

Not got the vehicles as such this year but if Blyth gets a refresh next year, that will see a tonne of DB300s displaced and they're Euro 6 too!

(12 Jul 2022, 11:20 pm)Aaron21 wrote Working in partnership with Durham County Council, we are pleased to confirm that once per hour, service 61 will be extended from Murton to Peterlee, replacing service 62 which will be withdrawn. These journeys will serve Wembley Estate.
61 timetable shows it not following the same route. In fact it'll follow the exact same route as the X1. What is bloody point. At that point your gonna kill the 61 to Peterlee. Why say that the 61 will replace the 62 yet won't follow the exact route and then follow the X1
(16 May 2022, 10:14 pm)User2613 wrote I have had a go at working out the current and revised PVRs of the routes mentioned in the changes. I have based it on current interworking patterns with the only exceptions being the x30/31/71/72. Please feel free to let me know if I have missed any or worked anything out incorrectly and I will update the list.
(13 Jul 2022, 12:45 pm)User2613 wrote I have updated the list based on the timetables now they have been published. The predicted drop in PVR hasn't been as severe as initially expected though it is worth noting I have done this based on the monday-friday daytime timetables rather than the evening, Saturday or Sunday times where there is a greater drop in PVR.50 is stand alone

Note the 725 and 208 are missing aswell.
