When a service is every 7.5 minutes it doesn't need to serve a bus station, especially when all the buses go the same route at least (people beyond CLS should be using the X21).

Anything 12 minutes or above, where all the buses goes to the same destination (ie. not the 10/10A/10B) should be nowhere near a bus station unless there's ample space and the stands aren't pull in and reverse ie. Gateshead and Middlesbrough.

I'm so confused on so many things with the 21

1, why did it need a frequency upgrade to Chester-le-Street. Most if not all journeys I see now are empty 

2, why is there a Percy Street dest when a 21 pulls in before it

3, why does the 21 even stop on Newgate Street leaving Eldon (the one where the X10 stopped) like why why does it do that

4, why in the world is the 21 so bad now. It used to be gne flagship route. Now look at it. The brand Angel means nothing anymore cause they ain't even on it

5, why not use the BSIP to make u know the X21 every 15 between Newcastle & Durham instead no let's waste all money on a route to Chester-le-Street. Most people get of there and wait for a bus to Durham
