Info circulated via some local Facebook groups and pages.
The cuts focusing on evening/Sunday screams of them wanting extra cash from the council. If the services mentioned were doing that badly, you'd also arguably be expecting to see them reduced from the rather healthy 20 minute M-F frequency they're currently on.
I'd be interested also to see if there are any improvements planned for ADC around the Darlington/Stockton/Middlesbrough areas, the past few times I've been down there the services have been rather busy, particularly the ones which have been reduced post-Covid like the X66. The southern section of the X12 also seems to be consistently busy too.
Obviously these changes hit bang on the time the cash stops flowing in from the government, so I expect we'll see a lot more of these changes from all operators in the coming weeks.
