Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - January 2015

Diversion of Services X26, X27 and 26A from Monday 19th January
From Monday 19th January, for around five weeks, Services X26, X27 and 26A will be unable to serve Gough Road in Catterick Garrison, due to road works.
These works will house a closure, which will prevent vehicles from accessing the junction of Gough Road & Richmond Road. Unfortunately, we will be unable to serve the Tesco store during the period of closure.
In order to ensure that our services operate as reliably and as punctual as possible, the following diversion routes will be adopted for the five week period and some passengers in Hispwell Village and Kemmel will see a slight revision to the times of their journey.
Revised routes and times are as follows;
Services X26 and 26A
These services will not serve Gough Road or Richmond Road and will instead operate via Hipswell Road West, Plumer Road and Leyburn Road. Arrangements will be in place to allow passengers to board and alight these services at the Leyburn Road/Richmond Road roundabout and also at the Plumer Road/Gough Road junction.
There will be no changes to the timetable whilst the closure is in place for these two services.
Service X27
In order to maintain links to Hipswell Village, Service X27 will unfortunately be unable to serve Hipswell Road West or Plumer Road. Instead, buses will operate directly from Richmond to Hipswell Village and on to Kemmel. As a result, services will arrive at Hipswell Village and Kemmel from Darlington, around 8 minutes earlier than timetabled.
Furthermore, journeys towards Darlington from Kemmel, will operate around 8 minutes later than they do now from Kemmel and Hipswell Village, before normal timetable will apply onwards through Richmond to Darlington.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, and we do appreciate the patience of our passengers during the past few weeks of roadworks which have been out of our control.

(14 Jan 2015, 7:40 pm)Jimmi I may go but I'm not sure as it's likely to be dark by 1630 and my camera isn't very good at night shots.
The other worry is meeting connections (especially at night) I have to be in Middlesbrough before 1942 for the last X66 to Darlington then have a fairly tight connection between the X66 and 5A.
Also there is only one X93 an hour so standing up to 60 minutes in the dark in January doesn't sound pleasant.
Anyone know when they'll be in service?

(14 Jan 2015, 7:42 pm)aureolin I'd say it has to be next Thursday at the latest? Pretty pointless launching a bus, then not having them out in service?
(14 Jan 2015, 8:16 pm)Andreos1 What are the train times like with regard to this launch?Train leaves Whitby at 1600 arr M'boro 1731, next one is 1919 due M'boro 2047
Potential to use one of the Northern deals, keeping another for a longer day out?

(15 Jan 2015, 12:21 pm)Jimmi I have and I stand by my statement.
I've been sat at the front upstairs on 14 reg Enviros on the X21/X22 and I've thought they weren't loud enough.
