58A - will now only operate between Durham - Peterlee Bus Station (in both directions), at the same times as present on this section.

88/104 - these services are to remain operated by Scarlet Band until at least the end of January as this was another contract postponed until the end of January.

110 - withdrawn.

112 - this service will be revised to run: Spennymoor - Ferryhill - West Cornforth incorporating the parts of Ferryhill the 110 currently serves. This service will run off peak only, interworking with services 111/115 using two buses.

113 - slightly revised timetable.

And of course, they gain operational of services: 7 (now 99), 52/725, 70/71/72 & 115 and lose Newton Aycliffe school service 879 to the Eden.

(26 Oct 2017, 5:46 pm)peter wrote Clearly DCC has just removed Thornley from the timetable on their site for no reason then! The Connect Tees Valley timetable does not show the service as stopping at High Shincliffe however (excluding the evening journeys which already did previously).

(26 Oct 2017, 9:13 pm)Adrian wrote I really don't understand this decision by Arriva. The 56 is regularly 10+ minutes late, so removing a literally 1 minute detour of High Shincliffe is hardly going to resolve the issue. Extremely short sighted decision making somewhere along the lines!

Glad the 58 has been rerouted though, so at least a service is retained through the village.

And it's definitely not high Shincliffe delaying the 56.

(28 Oct 2017, 6:54 pm)Jimmi wrote Current contract for 88/104 has been extended until the end of January, so Scarlet Band will operate it until then, anything after that will be dependent on who wins the tender when the new contract starts on January 28th 2018.

Same applies for the 700/701/702/703.
