Bit late but

We are delighted to be introducing a new timetable on service X66 from Saturday 28 October, including extra buses on Saturdays.

From 28 October, the Saturday timetable on service X66 will be revised, with buses being increased in frequency to now run up to every 8 minutes during the day.

In addition, until Friday 22 December, extra journeys will run on Monday to Friday evenings - perfect for getting home after some Christmas shopping!

Aye son it’s a different world now.

Even with a frequency increase and added layover time the 56's are regularly 10 mins late, upto 20 today

As well the 50 on an evening is now a single decker (most of the time) as 1940 50 to South Shields is ran off a 25, and 2040 to South Shields comes off a 28B 

Probably to save money, but going from a StreetDeck to a crappy versa is quite a change

What routes/Rota do new starters drive go on at Riverside.
