(14 Apr 2015, 8:46 pm)9920up wrote The Darlington Service 3/3A/3B timetables from 17.5.15 appear incorrect. They show the new half hourly service 3 to Hummersknott Academy. They then show the "old" service 3 to Tees Grange Avenue as well looking like a ghost or near duplicate service. Surprisingly Tees Grange Avenue has not been removed from the timetable despite it no longer being served from this date . This error is replicated in the down loadable PDF version also.
Have reported this to Arriva but without any response (to date) :s

This online timetable for the 3/3A/3B looks an absolute mess, although they always do but this is a whole different level of bad.

Also think it is a bit silly having the service only run via Barnes Road in one direction what if people want to go to Mowden Shops from Barnes Road, they can get there on the 3 but not back   meaning they'd either have to walk or get the Scarlet Band 16 back (although who knows if the 16/16A will continue after June when the funding runs out).

(14 Apr 2015, 9:20 pm)9920up wrote Same thing happens at Whinfield (again). You can get from Barmpton Lane to Asda on the 10. But when the 14B goes you can't get back again. Why the 10 is a one way loop is a mystery known only to Arriva.

(14 Apr 2015, 9:24 pm)John_R wrote What's more ridiculous is that if you live in Barnes Road/Claxton Avenue to get to town you have a longer journey due having to go around Hummersknott. I know Mowden isn't a very profitable bus area, but they seem to be making it worse.

I would also hope the 2 stops on Fulthorpe Avenue which haven't been used since the withdrawal of the 22 in 2000 are reinstated, in order to mitigate the effect of the new route - although the new timetable doesn't show these stops.

(08 May 2015, 3:04 pm)Jimmi wrote I wonder if there is more to come or if this is it.

Sadly it looks like it won't start at Darlington anymore, typical there is now a train into Darlington early enough on a Sunday morning but the bus doesn't appear to run from Darlington anymore

(08 May 2015, 3:17 pm)Tom wrote There are already ones from Darlo?

http://www.dalesbus.org/index.html - the 830?

(08 May 2015, 3:21 pm)Jimmi wrote That's Dalesbus though. Hope to do that at some point as well. Struggling to come up with a good plan at the moment though.

Incase you didn't know Arriva started operating Dalesbus for the summer last Sunday.

(08 May 2015, 4:12 pm)Andreos1 wrote Can you get to Boro, Saltburn or Great Ayton in time for the first bus?

(08 May 2015, 4:14 pm)Jimmi wrote Maybe.

No timetable yet so I'll have to wait and see.

(08 May 2015, 4:23 pm)Andreos1 wrote The Whitby train calls at Great Ayton and the one from Bishop to Darlo usually continues to Boro and Saltburn.

Having one of the £12.50 Northern Rail Day Ranger tickets that are on offer until the end of June, might be worth investing in - just incase!

(08 May 2015, 4:29 pm)Jimmi wrote The first train on a Sunday morning actually runs to Whitby instead of Saltburn so that could possibly be a possibility of getting on the bus at Great Ayton dependant on times.

Might actually consider getting one of these Day Ranger tickets.

(08 May 2015, 4:39 pm)tyresmoke wrote It does start from Darlington, from Faverdale at 0810 and town at 0819. Stockton at 0847, Middlesbrough at 0900. Returns M1852, S1905, D1932, F1941, daytime link is pretty much the same as last year via Guisborough and Danby to Pickering, with a return trip to Danby in the middle of the day.
The other bus will run from Saltburn via Marske and Redcar through to Helmsley via Northallerton then does a return to Stokesley and then Thirsk before the return trip back.

(08 May 2015, 4:43 pm)Tom wrote What are the passengers like on the current Dalesbus?

(08 May 2015, 4:48 pm)Jimmi wrote Damn! that's too early

Might be able to get a train and jump on the bus somewhere along the route or perhaps I could persuade someone to give a lift into Darlington for that time of the morning although I'd doubt anyone I know would want to.

Would be nice to see the full timetable.
