I heard some rumours yesterday that management had been on the X21 last week and are planning on changing the route around Woodhouse Estate.
Probably something to do with the fact that very few people, especially with the times that it runs the full route. Anyone who works in Newcastle and lives in Tindale (which granted I imagine there are very few) either has to walk into Woodhouse to catch the 06:34 which gets into Newcastle at 8:28 or still catch the more frequent Arriva 6 to Durham then get the 21 to Newcastle.
And as for evenings, the last but GNE has that goes through Woodhouse leaves Newcastle at 16:05, which is absolutely useless for anyone that works a 9-5.
As much as I like the direct connection to Newcastle, I think they should have kept the 18 and X21 separate, the only reason they got rid of the 18 was to close Crook so they could save money
