Arriva North East service levels during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

RE: Arriva North East service levels during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
Moving forward out of the current situation, how are Arriva going to adapt?

As I was driving to work the other day, I seen an ex London "MAX" B7TL broken down at Brunton Park on the X10.

I know I'm probably going to get shot down saying this but I do think that once social distancing measures are a thing of the past, maybe now is the time that Arriva need to scale back their operations and run as a leaner and fitter outfit focusing on quality over quantity.

They do some things better than GNE (local routes) but for their key services, they need to start seriously investing and doing things properly.

For Jesmomd, Blyth and Ashington, they could easily reduce the PVR by 11 vehicles.

51/51A & 306 & 308 (PVR reduced by 4) :
- As previously suggested in suggestion thread.

X9/X10/X11 (PVR reduced by 4) :
- X10 & X11 reduced to every 30 minutes each.
- X9/X10/X11 re-timed to form an up to every 10 minute service from Blyth, Cramlington Shops, Regent Centre, Gosforth and Newcastle. Blyth frequency split would be 9-11-10 and Cramlington Shops 8-12-10.
- X7 & X8 go back to previous arrangements with PVR 10.

X21/X22 (PVR reduced by 3):
- X21 & X22 reduced to every 30 minutes each.
- X21 reduced to hourly between Ashington & Newbiggin with Newbiggin runs interworking with service X19.
- X19 as previously suggested introduced.
