To be fair to Arriva. The X93 this year was a massive improvement over 2013. The timetable seems to be fine, it's the passenger loadings that hurt it.The X93 does seem more reliable now, it helps that they have altered the timetable and hopefully things will improve further when the B9TL's enter service.
Now the timetable is in winter operation, they seem to be quite reliable from ones I've seen in Middlesbrough.
I suggest you give it a try. It will be even better with the B9's when they arrive!
