RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 23 Jan 2019 Teesside and East Cleveland Changes from 17th February 2019 https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/updates/service-changes-in-teesside-and-east-cleveland/ Darlington and County Durham changes from 17th February 2019 https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/updates/service-changes-in-darlington-and-county-durham/ RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - JM03 - 23 Jan 2019 (21 Jan 2019, 1:50 pm)V514DFT wrote Quick question,after the works are finished on Whitley Road,will the 51/51A and 53 return to serving Benton Asda or is it scrapped for good51/51A still serve Asda now. With the plans being sent through my door, the 53 will not return to Asda. The 42/A looks unlikley to keep going for much longer tbh RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - peter - 23 Jan 2019 (23 Jan 2019, 1:47 pm)Kuyoyo wrote Teesside and East Cleveland Changes from 17th February 2019 Looks as though the 1/5/5a and perhaps the X1 will all interwork, the 3/3a/19 will interwork and the 12 will be standalone. From some quick calculations I reckon there'll be at least 3 Streetlites now spare at Darlington. An additional solo will be required for the 3/3a/19 and presumably also the 12.

The 53 on the peak hours is absolutely shocken and could spend up to 20 mins or more to get to Asda and back round, the worst use had to wait in Holystone is 2 hours and 35 minutes yet still had to add a extra 45 mins in catastrophic traffic to grt to Asda and back. For punctuality overall and for others living in my area, I think it is a very good move by arriva. This has been enforced anyways because the roundabout at Asda is getting taken out and will be a junction along withe the roundabout by the Wheatsheaf pub which unless sent around Benton Industrial estate or Holystone Park means 42/A will eventually have to cut off from Asda so it might be a good idea to start Asda free buses for Benton asda when that comes into play like the Byker and Metrocentre asdas. These plans have lots of positives and negatives but what effects it'll bring we will have to see.

Forest Hall/Killingworth missing out again an no,the 42/42A will turn around at the Wheatsheaf roundabout RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Stuartphin1639 - 24 Jan 2019 (23 Jan 2019, 4:22 pm)peter wrote Looks as though the 1/5/5a and perhaps the X1 will all interwork, the 3/3a/19 will interwork and the 12 will be standalone.

That could be easily sorted though send the 3 spare Streetlite to service 8/8A with the three remaining pulsars at Darlington to Stockton to withdraw the remaining cadets or to other depots to withdraw older stock Unless Darlington are going to start getting solos refurbed into new colours with the branding on the majority of Darlington solos now defunct because of the service changes RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 24 Jan 2019 (24 Jan 2019, 1:20 pm)Stuartphin1639 wrote That could be easily sorted though send the 3 spare Streetlite to service 8/8A with the three remaining pulsars at Darlington to Stockton to withdraw the remaining cadets or to other depots to withdraw older stock Was pretty much my thinking with regards to putting lites on the 8/8A. They'll likely just slightly alter the current 3/3A/3B branding as services interworking doesn't seem to have stopped them from route branding buses before e.g. 48/X46 and that's providing they actually do anything about branding, wouldn't be surprised if we see a repeat of the 21/X21 branded Eco's. Frequenta route brandings could really do with being abolished in Darlington considering most now interwork with other services and Frequenta 2s now being allocated to X21 daily. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - S830OFT - 24 Jan 2019 With the X21 set to interwork with the ED4 I think there will be a lot of dead mileage from Faverdale to North Hylton.

It’s it actually going to interwork with it though? If so I wouldn’t be surprised if Durham done the morning one and Darlington done the night one? Just a thought though, it would be closer for Durham to do the early one RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 24 Jan 2019 (24 Jan 2019, 11:00 pm)Stuartphin1639 wrote It’s it actually going to interwork with it though? If so I wouldn’t be surprised if Durham done the morning one and Darlington done the night one? Just a thought though, it would be closer for Durham to do the early oneWhilst it sounds far, it actually takes a similar amount of mileage and time to get back to Faverdale from North Hylton than it takes to run dead to/from Peterlee Bus Station. The changes to the weekday timetable mean only one bus will now run dead to Peterlee on a morning (currently two run dead) and there won't be a bus running dead back from Peterlee on a night anymore, so if my calculations are correct the combined mileage should actually be slightly less than it is now. According to Google Maps here are some estimated comparisons for mileage and time (obviously times will be longer as bus can't do 70mph but you get the idea): North Hylton to Belmont: 11 miles, 17 minutes North Hylton to Faverdale: 29 miles, 33 minutes Peterlee Bus Station to Faverdale: 27 miles, 34 minutes RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 30 Jan 2019 (18 Jan 2019, 7:43 pm)RobinHood wrote It looks like an error, as there appears to be an 0611 and 0616 from Easington? Yet they arrive into Middlesbrough 30 minutes apart. That has now been amended - the 0611 is now a 0558, one of the very interesting trip on the 5 under the new timetable as its one that won’t be a Sapphire vehicle.

Seemingly a fair few aren't Sapphires these days anyway!!

Seemingly a fair few aren't Sapphires these days anyway!! Only until the issues have been sorted. The first 3 of Stockton’s 5s from Easington on a weekday morning are booked for non-Sapphire stock from the 18th - as are a few of the peak and early evening journeys. The more interesting allocation amendment is Stockton’s last X66 being booked for Streetlite allocation..... RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 30 Jan 2019 Issues sorted?

Looking on Google Maps, it appears these services were actually going to have a stop on Hallgarth Street. ![]() RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 12 Feb 2019 Seems the 5 not going to Hollybush evenings and Sundays after all. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Cock Robin - 13 Feb 2019 Is there any actual change to the X12 this weekend then? There's nothing on their website though the window bills mention it. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 14 Feb 2019 (12 Feb 2019, 6:35 pm)Cock Robin wrote Seems the 5 not going to Hollybush evenings and Sundays after all. You couldn't get that into the evening timetable for sure. Must be pretty tight now they run via Cranmore... I timed the evening runs when we started Sapphire which gave the hourly timetable with a 2 hour round trip rather than the 2h15 round trip it used to have. You kept going but there wasn't much spare time.

Arriva, CTV, Traveline and bustimes.org all suggest the usual 10 minute Saturday frequency between 0900 and 1500!

Been informed from driver mates who have seen the internal documents - there's only 5 7 boards listed in the new Saturday duties and RTC pack, with the new boards listing times on a 12 minute frequency rather than a 10. The times listed are the same as those used on the 12 minute Friday afternoon timetable. These are the same sources as the previous mentions of the non-Sapphire worked turns on 5s on early weekday mornings. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tcts24 - 17 Feb 2019 Fair enough. I had a look out of curiosity over the exact times and couldn't find them.

I've checked this with someone a bit more directly involved and I'm told that Service 7 was planned to be revised to a 12 min Saturday, but was knocked back last minute. The 10 minute frequency has been retained and the depot have had updated boards and duties sent to them, reinstating that.
