On a Sunday when I'm travelling to Tindale, I get the X21 to Bishop, then because there's a 20 minute wait, I walk down to Cabin Gate and I only have to pay £1.10 instead of the £1.40 if I were to go from Bus Station, but with GNE that journey is still £1.50. So that's 40p cheaper than the equivalent GNE ticket, which is a fair bit
If GNE were to run the X21 to Tindale later into the evenings and on Sundays, I could basically cut ties with Arriva, except from when I have to travel to Crook, but even then, I'd rather go via Durham than pay £4.50. It's a shame the X46 only runs twice a day in each direction
I remember the days when you could get from fatfield to park lane for £1.20!
