I haven't gone through everything for the X21/X22 yet, but most days since the timetable change on services 1 and 2, the majority of services are severely delayed, cancelled or operated part route. It also looks like evening journeys on service 1 are being started short at Ashington mid way through a shift.

I think the staffing situation may be getting to the point where having the X21/X22 every 30 minutes may also be difficult, and that some pretty difficult decisions are going to need to be made on maintaining some sort of frequency.

If the worst comes to worst, then pretty much everything would cope with having deckers on an hourly frequency, with the X21/X22 each running half hourly...

The Ashington runs on the 43/44/45 have been severely impacted recently as well. Several days when at least two boards have been missing from what I've experienced. 

Apparently one of the local Councillors has a sit down with Arriva management soon. It'll be interesting to see what they say to him.
