(29 Jan 2018, 11:35 pm)Jimmi wrote Saw this coming, got a 44 from Stannington to Morpeth recently and I think there was only me (and possibly one more passenger) on it, mind not surprising when on the section between Hepscott Park and Morpeth, the 43 & 44 are running only 3 minutes apart from each other in both directions (on this occasion the 44 was late, so the 43 picked up all the passengers).

https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/globalassets/documents/north-east-services-documents/x93-middlesbrough-to-scarborough/rr_x93_mar18_sum.pdf

Changes from the 2017 season:
New 'earlier' journey added between Middlesbrough and Whitby departing Middlesbrough at 0750 and Guisborough at 0818, connecting with the former Whitby 'short' board - appears all of the summer extras will be Redcar operated this summer.
Journeys towards Scarborough will now leave Guisborough 2 minutes earlier.
The late departure between Middlesbrough and Scarborough in the summer (1820 from Middlesbrough, 1935 from Whitby) presently gets 1 hour 2 minutes between Whitby and Scarborough - from the end of March, this is reduced to 55 minutes, allowing the last Scarborough to Whitby journey to depart 10 minutes earlier at 2045 (was 2055 last year) arriving in Whitby at 2136 (2155).
All daytime journeys will arriving in Scarborough 1 minute earlier than presently
The current last departure from Whitby to Middlesbrough all year round at 1903 and the last Middlesbrough to Whitby at 2020 will now run Summer only
Journeys from Whitby to Middlesbrough will run 2 minutes later from Guisborough to Middlesbrough


New 95: https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/services/95---whitby-to-sleights/?direction=outbound&date=180415

Whitby Park and Ride appears to be the same times as last year.

(29 Mar 2018, 12:39 pm)Jimmi wrote Arriva North East's DalesBus offerings has now being registered with VOSA. Slightly different this year as the Arriva 830 will now only run as far as Hawes, however a new service 857 will operate between Hawes, Leyburn and Masham instead. Starts May 27th.

DalesBus summer times (including the 830 & 857) can be found here: https://www.dalesbus.org/timetable.html

(Preston Bus are doing the other 830 and 859 again this year).

Moorsbus times has now popped up in parts of the Arriva app. Services start on Sunday May 20th this year and the Sunday time's look pretty similar to last year for Arriva, except for a M5  Helmsley to Thirsk and return journey in the afternoon.

Interestingly, a Saturday service is being introduced this year, looking on the app, the departure times for the Saturday run, look like this (I've additionally added arrival times where there's gaps in the timetable):


York Pullman have registered services M6 & M7 which Stephensons of Easingwold operated last year.

It's a shame they're missing the long weekend.
One operator starts their summer service ridiculously close (on a BH) and possibly not long enough to physically announce its presence to the world and we see Moors/Dalesbus missing out on the weekend completely.

(29 Mar 2018, 6:19 pm)9920up wrote May changes to the 1B introduce extra evening running time. Thus the round trip to Crook will be over 2 hours so a different vehicle will be needed for each ex Darlington departure. Not clear where this will be from - no interworking pattern is clear. The last 1B to Faverdale seems to work off a 7 board.

Think Moorsbus started on May Day last year, unsure why they have reverted to starting to towards the end of May again this year, mind the weather forecast for this weekend isn't exactly fantastic if they were to start this weekend

At least the Arriva DalesBus 830 has (arguably) better connections this year as last year all you could connect with was the 833 at Ingleton which ran to Gisburn Forest and pretty much all you had time to do there was get a cuppa whereas this year, passengers from this neck of the woods can visit Settle once again which was something you couldn't do last year which caused some upset, was also some comments last year about the late start in the morning and sure enough, almost identical times again this year, most of these comments I picked up from overhearing discussions between passengers on the one Sunday I rode DalesBus last year.


There's a 1B that arrives in Darlington at 23:16, so I would have thought that it would be more likely to that bus that does the 23:20 trip.

(29 Mar 2018, 12:58 pm)Kuyoyo wrote And thanks to the app, the times of the X66s from Darlington on an evening are revised back to xx25 - with a new 2125 departure as far as Stockton only introduced replacing the 66.

(29 Mar 2018, 8:35 pm)RobinHood wrote The timetable then reverts back to normal from 3rd June...

Diversion somewhere maybe?
