Wonder if this has been done as it follows the same route as the 7 between Durham Bus Station and Croxdale, should be intresting to see how it impacts passenger numbers on the 6, 7 and X21.
The pairing makes sense, it's just unfortunate that the allocated stand doesn't work.
And with that new time, I think we can be pretty certain that the 22 will never get a slot in stand J. (I hadn't realised that the new time was a tiny bit later than the old one - that's going to be tight for connections if I get the X21 home from Newcastle - just with the advantage of no longer having to run from one end of the station to the other!)
