I'd argue that the 7 has more problems with allocations than the X21/X22, it just seems like the X21/X22 is worse because us lot in County Durham and Darlington don't whinge on about it all the time!!!
Really? I get to see the 7 come and go most of the day, and I'd say the allocations are pretty good. Although the decision not to go 100% decker was daft.

I can't understand it. The frequency of services in and around Darlington town centre, it should be easy enough to double swap something, to get a more suitable bus on the 7.
It's the passengers I feel for. It's a long old route for the inevitable standees.
