(Yesterday, 10:26 pm)Jimmi wrote The 8/8A currently interworks with the 17, although I suspect that's now more so only one double decker has to be allocated to one board to do the school service 865 at both ends of the school day, can't imagine Arriva have anything major planned for the 8/8A at least, as likely would have to be a survey for that too - being in Tees Valley, don't think surveys would need to be made for the likes of the 16/17/18 although lord knows what's planned for all the Tees Valley contract services when the contracts are currently expected to end in the spring.
I would imagine that the X12 would require an extra 5 minutes if it were to serve Fishburn en route to Sedgefield.
Pretty much all the routes in that part of County Durham have been cut to within an inch of their lives that many are now of little use to many people, area needs a whole overhaul but given the levels services have been reduced to, I can only see further cuts and changes like what's currently being consulted on with the X22.
Aye definitely, guess it depends if it was an extension though I suppose - don't think they need to do a survey for positive changes.
The 113 is the one which is standing out though, unsure when the tender is up though.
8 -> 8A/113 -> X21 -> X21 -> 17 (and vice versa) would pretty much work on paper and I know Arriva were looking at expanding their services so who knows? Agreed with the cuts in that part though.
