The 1 could definitely do with new buses though. E200's possibly.

On Sundays should the 5A passengers be dropped off at Northgate and Tubwell Row then the bus goes back to Northgate to start the 19 to Faverdale depot or should it wait at Northgate until the 19 departure time still with the 5A passengers on-board then round to Tubwell Row as the latter has just happened to me and I am not happy about it.

(12 Apr 2015, 1:24 pm)Tommy_1581 I would assume that the 5a passengers got dropped off first on Northgate and Tubwell Row then it goes back to Northgate and starts the 19.I believe it should drop off 5A passengers first then head back to Northgate to start the 19 as the 5A should terminate at Tubwell Row before the 19 should leave Northgate.
However just dropping off on Northgate, sound like plain laziness to me.

Not happy missed a shot of an EcoCity on the 76A and only JUST caught a shot of the Sapphire Enviro going round Darlington Town Centre.

Shouldn't be a problem from next month when the 19 will no longer pick up at Northgate.

(12 Apr 2015, 6:08 pm)RobinHood I believe from next month, the 5A will continue as the short Morton Park Service 12 instead, every hour. The times seem to fit.Just had a look and it seems you could be right there as they all fit in perfectly.
The 19 looks like it will interwork with the Sapphire 7, possibly instead of running dedicated shuttles. Again, the times fit perfectly.
The two hourly Hurworth 12 also sits perfectly in the layover of the Sunday two hourly X75.
Its some pretty efficient (and sensible) vehicle workings!
On rough calculations, it appears that one vehicle is saved on a Sunday from May (the current Service 12 bus), but that is possibly reinvested into the 13A/13B, which looks like a Sunday frequency increase.

Some of the sapphire streetlites entered service today, it was allocated to service 24. Have plans changed yet again?

The bus I'm on has a notice of lower fares on the 56, but only for Coundon Village and Leeholme? Between those points and Bishop Auckland bus station will drop to £1.70 single/£3.20 return.
Is this in competition with the GNE OK way service or something? I don't know the area that well.
