(20 Jan 2015, 7:21 pm)gtom Interesting. Wonder what the X2 change is?
I'd be really tempted to turn the X2 into an Express running from Gateshead to Chester non stop....however that is then effectively handing Durham Road to GNE

It appears the registrations I posted earlier for Darlington do appear to be stand changes in Darlington with services 2 & 3 moving to stand J and services 4 & 14/14A/14B to Skerne Park moving to stand I (info based on Traveline search on Monday 2nd February).
Also there is revised timetables from Sunday.
County Durham: 6, 48, 56/56A.
Whitby Towns and X93.

(22 Jan 2015, 12:32 am)Stuart Phin If it is changes of stand that's going to make things worse on tubwell row, 4's are every 10 mins, so are the 14s but the 14 shuttle has a lay over of 9 mins so if it stands in the stop then it's going to cause more back log to the town, best bet is to put the 2's back to burger king as well as the north road buses

(22 Jan 2015, 12:42 am)Jimmi I know the last set of changes just made things worse in all parts of the town (apart from Prebend Row) So stand I will now have the 14's every 10 minutes, the 4's every 10 minutes and also the 1/X1 combined 15 minutes so chances are this will make things even worse with the buses backing onto stand H like they do now. When will the utter **** up that is Darlington Town Centre will hopefully be sorted one day so it is not a deadly gauntlet just trying to get from one side of the road to the other and have buses blocking the road.

Even just a simple bus station like Regent Centre, Blyth or Alnwick would be an option? Them stupid car parks are bad for parking and them stupid taxis think they can stop anywhere.
(22 Jan 2015, 9:30 am)MrPottski You're right, since the greedy council sold off all the best areas. That new Feethams development could have been quite easily located on the opposite side of the road, or on the site of the old car dealership, both of which are being used for car parks at present. Then, build a bus station where it used to be, with a car park on the top, like the old Sunderland CBS. The problem you have is, Darlington council haven't got a clue when it comes to anything bus related, and those in charge of Arriva in Darlington aren't much better. Someone will end up dead in that town before long, and it will be them to blame.

Although, I agree that the council is useless and hope they get voted out. Personally I'm glad there isn't a bus station at Feethams as it isn't really close to the main shops and would make the bus a less convenient option for many people. Also I'm sure many including my myself would prefer the cinema as it would save a trip to Teesside Park. Also they're just about to start building a multi storey car park at Beaumont St/Feethams which although is probably needed, it will undoubtedly be an eyesore.
Also its quite unlikely someone will be killed and given its now nearly 10 years since pedestrianisation was introduced, there has not been anyone seriously injured in that time - pretty much every town centre in the North East has a worse record, so it has done quite well considering its inevitable that there will be some collisions due to people just crossing without looking.
However they do need to move the stops back to how they were with North Road service outside Burger King.
To be honest the screens will benefit more people than a service to Brafferton or another outlying village.

CHANGES TO STANDS IN DARLINGTON TOWN CENTRE
From 1st February, we're swapping departures between Stand I and Stand J in Tubwell Row, to improve stand access for some of our larger vehicles.
This means that Services 1, X1, 2 and 3 will depart from Stand J and Services 4 and 14/a/b will depart from Stand I.
