Shame the X20 only runs at peak times as Gilesgate can put me off the 20/20A especially since Arriva introduced the X21 to Sunderland.
The X20 from Park Lane at 1610 on weekday evenings is often late.
That's not to do with anything on the X20 route though - it's to do with the scholars that bus operates prior.
Despite it being timed to have more than enough time to get from Monkwearmouth to Park Lane, it often comes in late. Statements about timetabling on Nexus-secured services have been made in the past - I think it applies here too! Flip side of the coin is that Go North East should realise that it's a problem of the scholar service, but they haven't bothered to change the running boards so that X20 no longer interworks with that scholar service.
