(27 Dec 2019, 1:23 pm)L469 YVK wrote For Arriva's Boxing Day services in the future, would it not be cheaper to open Blyth depot in terms of mileage?

- X10/X11 (renumbered 10 / 11) would run serving all stops via Wideopen and interwork with the 52/X16. This would reduce the PVR from 8x to 6x due to the 43 not needing to run.

- 308 would remain unchanged.

- 52 and X16 would interwork with 10 / 11

- X21 / X22 driver changeovers would take place on Bedlington Front Street with some early morning and early-mid evening journeys either starting or terminating in Bedlington.

Why? Easier to operate everything from Jesmond depot. Then driver changeovers are taking place at an official break location rather than requiring paid travelling time from Bedlington to Blyth to have their break.
