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
It's a mess mind, there's too many buses South of the Angel imo, 3 buses an hour would probably be more than enough not 8. The corridor should be more like the Great North Road imo with multiple service combining on the core corridor South of the Angel imo where it probably deserves the 8 buses an hour.
Mind I'd do the X21 every 20 minutes personally, means you could work it with the 6 past Durham and have it every 10 minutes combined between Bishop and Durham. Much better than having 2 buses following each other like now.

Unless it's changed, South of the Angel it isn't. Never really has been and with CLS depot closing, there's not really any sense of them all going down there - obviously a different question when the depot was there but it's not now.
