The decision to change the route was not taken lightly and was necessary to improve punctuality for the majority of passengers who travel on this service. “Arriva is working closely with Durham Country Council to identify actions that will speed up buses and therefore free-up the time needed to re-instate the route at Stobb Cross. To further improve punctuality, from Sunday, October 27, we are adding another vehicle to our fleet which will make our service more resilient to delays. In addition, we are introducing a revised timetable from January 5 that will allow buses more time to complete their journeys, especially at commuter times when there is growing traffic congestion in the Durham area. “An invitation wasn’t received on this occasion, but we are always happy to meet with community groups.” Arriva North East: Latest News & Discussion - September 2019 - TEN 6083 - 14 Sep 2019 Arriva OP02 ARE by kieron mathews, on Flickr OP02 ARE has entered service and was on the 47 today.

More Omnicity problems? As it was a school day there should only have been 1 * E400 as planned (going to Carlisle) and the other (returning to Newcastle) would normally be a VDL substituting for a missing Omnicity.
