I think the timing is unfortunate in the addition of the cannon as a stop for the x21 coincides with the roadworks along Durham Road. I actually don't think it's a bad idea to serve low Fell if you take the roadworks out of the equation. I've seen some people this week use it to go from the cannon to Chester-le-street, which is a non-stop journey. I think it potentially will add more customers, and when the roadworks are over and low fell has added bus lanes, it won't really make too much of a difference to the journey time.
