The 65 changes mean there’s now only 1 bus to Seaham from Murton each hour, when there was 3 ph back in July.

Whilst I must admit it’s preferable in one sense to have stripped back timetables rather than missing services/cancellations left, right and centre some of the changes lack any sense of forethought. I’ll expand on my thoughts when I’ve got more time. But the amount of changes/cuts we’ve seen since the pandemic can surely only be putting customers off. People aren’t necessarily going to flock back to the 65, 10B and the 8 once they’re increased (if they ever go back) to the usual timetables, as people will have changed to other methods of getting around - car sharing or perhaps cycling.
