I personally think the EcoCitys will remain on the X21 for the foreseeable future.

Sundays however will be Pulsar worked from 30th October due to the new interworking pattern.

2834 and 2840 now has branding for service 55. They are out today, in typical fashion both are on the 46.

This looks absolutely ridiculous.

It frustrates me how Arriva seem so reluctant to really improve the services on an evening, and although their suggestions are marginally better than nothing, they seem to have this obsession with truncating services at or with loops around Brotton or Skelton.

The X4 is a busy service, give it a chance on an evening - run it at least to Easington.  The areas south of Saltburn have no trains as alternatives.

I would also add that a 7pm last X4 from Whitby is also far too early, but they wont even consider a couple more journeys from there on a night.

Ending the 5a in Skelton still leaves Brotton with 4 buses an hour to Middlesbrough via 2 routes but no direct bus to Asda. I copied the survey to a local Facebook page  ''Spotted Brotton'' and a local Arriva driver implied that the 5 would be re-routed via Asda. Great if you want to go shopping but adding 10ish extra minutes to the M'bro to Easington journey is not very impressive!
