Likely some changes are result of contract changes in County Durham.
Services in County Durham with variations are: 1, 5/5A, 6, 7, 8/8A, 22, 23, 24, 48, 49/49A, 56/56A, 57/57A 64, X21, X22, X75/X76 and the Middlesbrough to Durham stretch of the X12.
Northumberland variations are: 43, 44, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 308, 553, X7, X8, X9, X10, X30 (fair few of these have route changes as well although 43 is noted to be for a road closure).
Be interesting to see if the X7/X8/X9 route changes are moving them around again. I know there's been some complaining from Amersham Drive about the lack of a service to Cramlington now and lack of service to the Regent Centre from South Beach since the changes.
There's also a big problem currently where all the buses leaving Newcastle at rush hour are single deckers but leaving Blyth are double decker carry little loads but it's not fixable as if you move them around then the problem moves to the morning instead with the Astley school bus missing both, it's a bit of a mess.
