X21: 20:15
21: 20:20 (Durham)
21: 20:40 (Short)
21: 21:00 (Durham) 21:39 CLS
X21: 21:15, 21:47 CLS
21: 21:20 (Durham)
21: 22:20 (Durham)
21: 23:20 (Durham)

I personally don't get why they don't just scrap the X21's like in the past in the evening and tag it onto the 20:20, 21:20, 22:20 21 instead, it should be the same PVR (possibly -1). It's stupid running them 5/8 minutes apart from a 21 when it's 30/60 mins atm or at least run the X21 at XX:50 so it's not in tandem with the 21.

It's a big cut on the 21 as it ran every 20 minutes until 2255 then 2320 under the pre-covid timetable. 
Even worse the other bus to Low Fell (25) runs at 2020, 2120, 2220, 2320 from 5th September so 2 x buses to Low Fell at the same time then none for an hour! That's hardly going to attract the passengers back.
Even headways on common sections of route doesn't appear to be GoNE's strong point at the minute in fact a very weak point!

The 21 & 25 also run together from Low Fell into Newcastle in the late evening - they could at least have planned them on the opposite half hour.
