(1 hour ago)Shrek wrote I always thought there would be changes, but the posts you made always read as if it would finish Arriva in the area which is where I, and I suspect others disagreed with you. It's sensible now that Arriva have data on how the line is going, to make adaptions to the network to suit it. There's potential for growth for them if they do it right.
Ah no, must've overread my posts, never thought it would kill them completely, even known it might've come across like that.
I've always said the X21/X22 would end up half hourly, always made sense as if you interworked the 1/2 into the routes they'd effectively be every 15 minutes anyway on the important bits rather than them duplicating each other.
Still surprised the 43 isn't going to Blyth yet mind, to deal with the driver changeovers miles away from the depot, even more so with the X30 existing now or some of the expresses being somehow merged into the 43/44/45 corridor.
