I was talking to a driver he said Arriva doing nothing about the 64 Apart from Putting Enviro 200s he said they don't have enough Deckers and that all students are meant to get X2 6 7

Problem is Arriva seem to think ALL New College Durham students finish around 4pm which is not the case, good luck getting on the 64 at lunchtime as some students finish at lunchtime and then you have some just heading into Durham for lunch then back again. Some students finish at around 3pm and service 6 doesn't start serving Framwellgate Moor until 1604 and the 7 doesn't until 1638 and by that time most students have long finished, the 1638 service 7 is the only one of the 3 evening journeys that actually have any passengers on it, the 1708 often never had any passengers on it. Problem with the X2 is that it picks up at the Salutation Bus Gate stop while the 64 stops at the next stop and if you put your hand out for the X2 at that stop the driver will often point behind him to indicate that it stops at the other stop.
