21- Newcastle-Gateshead-Low Fell-Birtley-Chester-le-Street-Durham-Croxdale-Tudhoe-Spennymoor-Bishop Auckland-Woodhouse-Tindale Cresent-West Auckland (Every 30 minutes)
21A- Newcastle-Gateshead-Low Fell-Birtley-Chester-le-Street (Every 10 minutes)
X21- To run between Newcastle and Durham every 15 minutes- will now observe all stops between Chester-le-Street and Durham.
PVR:
Angel 21/21A- PVR 19: 6302-6303 & 6315-6331
X21- PVR 8: 6304-6307, 6332-6333 and the 2 new streetdecks when they arrive.
Posts have been made in the upcoming changes thread suggesting that reducing the Newcastle to Chester section in frequency would be a bad idea and re-numbering the shorts 21A would be pointless and confusing.
Replacing X21 with the 21 would not be an attractive option for those travelling towards Gateshead/Newcastle from as far as Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor, already a long enough journey without stopping at every lamppost in Birtley.
