If you look back in the Bygone Era (search X31, X32, X33 circa 1997), in a nutshell give or take it was a 15 minute frequency with half hourly via Bedlington Station and half hourly via Guide Post. Only difference this time would be the Hartlands going half hourly with Nedderton also being served half hourly.
No it wasn't, the X31 and X32 were both every 30 minutes both by Bedlington Station (every 15 minutes) and the X33 was every 30 minutes (the current X22).
The X32 becoming what is now the X21 and the X31 in Ashington being replaced by the X20. Then at a later date the X21/X22 were flipped between Bedlington and Newcastle.
Also are there many services that aren't back to normal timetable now? I know someone said awhile back the X21/X22 was because of long Covid and driver shortages (not sure how true). There also seems to be a lack of buses to be able return things back to normal unless we have another massive bus shuffle since the Pulsars are at Blyth on the X7/X8/X9 (supposed to be 1/2)
