I genuinely can’t see the 21 getting better with the Riverside change.
Where’s the relief short service? Ohhhh it’s stuck in 2 miles of tailbacks on the A1 Coalhouse roadworks.
It’s just the outright lying I can’t get away with, front it up. it’s been a catastrophically unreliable service since it became fhe 21 and they ditched the 723, 724, 21a, 21b and that was nigh on 20 years ago and not all of it is GNEs fault but there’s no smart thinking at all. Starting turning services at the Angel, relieve the pressure on the corridor and let CLS and Durham runs pick up some steam through birtley onwards but all they ever do is turn them at Gateshead or run light to CLS.
