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...

Aye you're probably right there, it's a mess mind, or they'll get some agency staff in again to bail them out but obviously not a wise move with the strike action as it's just going to cause tension. It appears they're actually being adults rather than causing a PR war in the public unlike the other company though, so hopefully they can get it sorted asap.
