DCC are also funding an extension of service 6 to Ramshaw which will see the Hodgsons operated service 104 reduced to operate Newfield to Bishop Auckland only, losing the through travel to Tindale Crescent.
Funding is also in place to retain the Barnard Castle journeys, plus additional journeys.
Arriva's website has been updated with this information now, though a timetable is not yet showing available.
At this point they may as well extend it through to Darlington/Barnard Castle during the day to replace the 84/85.
I'm also quite surprised Darlington have done nothing about the 3 and the 12 - you could realistically re-route the 16 to cover the 3 and as for the 12, that's Houchen's ever precious bus link to the airport gone
