This might seem like the revolutionary change that people have been wanting with buses serving places more easily and what not but all it is is an inconvenience to those people who use those services as they are now for what they’re for. Realistically the 61 should be left alone, with new routes being made for those local links, especially the cross city ones.

Another thing I want to add is the fact most of these buses are being advertised as turn up and go but as soon as that bus turns to its own route, some services will be up to one bus an hour. The 61 being kept at half hourly is ridiculous, should be at least every 15 minutes with one every half an hour continuing to peterlee.
