We could but then we'll go off topic haha, i've heard the services which run every 10 minutes will be cut to every 12 minutes, and the 
18 will go which isn't a surprise.

I'm sure the funding had ran out from a "Kick starter" fund, hence why they had to change those services.

The only change is the transfer of the weekday operation of the 689 service from Stanley to Hexham - but this is a like-for-like swap, and just means that the MPD which would have otherwise been withdrawn next month (replaced by a full-size single-deck), will in fact remain in the fleet for a little longer. The changes here are largely offering better connections (X85 being extended to Newbrough), with services having more streamlined timetables.

Along with the upgrade of Citaro's on the X84/X85, if true.
Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.
