(21 Mar 2024, 9:32 pm)Shrek Having seen the amount of people standing on a Streetlite X21 leaving Haymarket earlier, I'm sure the passengers from Ashington will be thrilled with this exchange.

(21 Mar 2024, 10:32 pm)Storx Good thing there's a railway line coming so people don't have to bother anymore.
If they had any business sense they'd be doing everything they can to promote how good they are, not doing everything to promote why people should use the trains instead with an absymal service. The cancellations on the X21/X22 were both shocking today aswell.
I know I'll be voting with my feet and frankly, if I had to be honest, if Arriva went bust - I really couldn't care less.

(21 Mar 2024, 10:36 pm)Shrek Not just the x21 with the cancellations, several cancellations across the 43/44/45 during rush hour.
The one hope is that when the takeover happens, they bring in people with business sense and a strategy to improve and grow. I'm not holding my breath though.

(21 Mar 2024, 10:51 pm)Storx Didn't see the 43/44/45 ones, I know it's been an absolute shambles from Blyth across the board trying to get into Newcastle tonight though.
Yeah same to be honest, but I don't see
much either. Arriva Northumbria could be a car crash if they don't get a grip of things and people do move across - as they'll never return imo.
I have a feeling franchising will be in soon enough though, and that'll be a mess aswell as it'll be ran by Gannon who is as incompetent as anyone else.

(22 Mar 2024, 8:55 am)mb134 Maybe if Redcar looked after their vehicles then people wouldn't be left behind? Hasn't 7401 been VOR on and off for nearly a year now with the same axle issue?
On the money part, do you have any figures to support that? I see X22s daily, and use the route semi-frequently and they're always reasonably busy and have ran at 3 buses per hour for years compared to an hourly service which is only really busy for at most half of the year?

(22 Mar 2024, 4:04 pm)mb134 What does that have to do with it?
I pointed out that they have a recurring issue with vehicles being VOR for long periods of time and returned to service to fail again with the exact same problem. It's incompetence, plain and simple.
The fact they're getting 4 new buses to replace 3 seasonal vehicles highlights how poor their ability to maintain vehicles is, and yet again other areas (Darlington and Ashington) are being made to suffer because of it.

(22 Mar 2024, 7:55 pm)Storx I'd be very surprised if the vast majority of people on the X21/X22 aren't going to either Ashington or Newcastle which both have stations.
Some are underestimating the more across on here, Arriva is a complete shambles and borderline unusable.
I'd be arguing that they'll be taking people from their cars who have abandoned the bus completely as the X22, in particular, is unusable the past week and if the strikes go ahead, won't be getting better either.
(22 Mar 2024, 8:36 pm)Mark66t Don't know why u moaning Ashington are getting pulsars so end of Ashington aren't suffering
Another question for you have u been on the ex London spares for the x93 x94 u would be understanding that there were completely failure nothing to do with maintenance or Redcar so cut out blaming Redcar just because u lost 4 h
Newish buses I think it's fair why should northrumbria get all the decent and the rest of the North East put up with ex London knackered ALX400 !!!!!
