(2 hours ago)PH - BQA wrote Hearing that more cuts are on the way in Northumberland, in direct opposition to the "frequency increases" that were floated in one of the recent Arriva statements.
It’s increases where they’re needed and decreases where the Northumberland line has absorbed some of the passengers. The 35 is supposedly going back up to every 15 and X21/22 dropping back down to every 15 combined, which fits about right with the rumours of the X22 being extended up to Newbiggin. The biggest draw with routes around that way now is links to Northumberland Line stations, so expect similar changes in the future with Blyth routes
