Got into dalton park this evening on the X10 hoping to catch the 65, see it pulled into the stop to watch it pull away two minutes early… now I’m stranded for an hour in the cold. Everytime i bring this up with them on twitter I’m told I’m wrong and it left on time? :|Dalton Park timings with the X10 really need sorting out.
19:20 one meets perfectly with the 65 to Seaham & 61A to Sunderland however if youre going to Murton or Hetton you'll have a 30-40 min wait

Do they still say 1 minute early or 5 minutes late is classed as ‘on time’? They certainly used too. You’re right though - especially key calling points shouldn’t be leaving until it’s scheduled time, not even 1 minute early really. Driver clearly wanting to get home sharp!
However I must say when getting on the 65 (well not so now), 20, X10, X20, X1, 50 etc they all used to leave 1 min early, but since COVID I've noticed they leave when they're actually supposed too. e.g
Meant to be leave at 20:20 they would tend to leave 20:19.
