The 43, 44, 45, 51, 52 and 53 timetables are all very wrong. The right timetables are on Traveline now though for anyone who actually needs them.
Given the website updates are done by the national customer service team based in Luton whereas the raw timetable data is done by the North East Commerical Team who are now based at Stockton depot, issues are likely to crop up especially with how quickly they wanted to upload the new timetables (understand from speaking to the Commerical Member who was responsible for the Teesside and County Durham changes that their rush resulted in the original version of Stockton's 7/7A timetable being dispatched instead of the updated version - the original was prior to the understanding that the extension to Kirklevington was needed 7 days a week, meaning Stockton's Sunday PVR on the Stockton routes remains at 5 as present but 7B board will start 3 hours earlier than it presently does and also remain out for longer as well, finished on the last trip to Willey Flatts from Stockton at 1905 rather than presently finishing in the High Street at 1720).
All are now correct on the website however - although no timetable at present for the 22A.
