(22 Nov 2016, 9:35 am)Kuyoyo wrote And where has it been stated that 4664 will be branded for the X16!? All that has been stated is 4664 is being refurbished to MAX standard rather than pigeon-holing it into Cross Pennie Livery when it is to be the spare! By having it MAX means if not needed on the 685, it can be used elsewhere without people complaining that it is off-route. And if needed, it can cover on the X16 yes but it won't be branded for the X16.

It has Cross Pennine logos on the headrests, but the base and backs of the seats aren't actually there.

It's engine was open and the fitter was looking cold.

And I've noticed that the fibre glass moulding around 1595's windscreen is looking rather bashed in. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if chain smoker Santa Claus, who was driving it, was responsible for that because he kept mounting the kerb! On straight roads!

(10 Dec 2016, 7:41 pm)Michael wrote How many people travel the full route to Darlington from Sunderlannd on the X21?

Just wondering on the numbers

(10 Dec 2016, 8:00 pm)Jimmi wrote I can't imagine it's many, I do the Newton Aycliffe - Sunderland section fairly often and usually anyone who is on-board before I get on at Newton Aycliffe Town Centre usually gets off long before Sunderland, about the furthest most passengers south of Sedgefield seem to go is Peterlee and this often seems to be East Durham College students.

(10 Dec 2016, 8:03 pm)Michael wrote Cool thanks Jimmi, was just wondering, i rarely use/see Arriva so i don't really know the passenger numbers on the services. 

I would imagine it's the same leaving Sunderland, passengers only go to Peterlee or a little bit further?
