I won't be surprised if the X22 goes and the X21 reverts back to the Hartlands route in the future.
If the X22 goes, and the X21 goes back to it's old route, then you'd be leaving: Guide Post, Choppington, Fallowfield, Nedderton and half of Bedlington, without a direct bus service to Newcastle. A service that they have always had.
Not too sure, especially considering the changes to the routes south of Bedlington, how the X22 is only running because of NCC funding. As mentioned by 'L496 YVK', the X22 gets majority of passengers from Bedlington Front Street, as well as the Hartlands.
Arriva surely wouldn't have made those routes Sapphire if only one was doing well?
