Northern to extend the OK18 to Evenwood and Ramshaw to cover the appalling "service" now offered by the ridiculous new timetable on the Arriva 6 and 50/A. The 6 is probably the worst designed timetable I have ever seen, a 12 min frequency with two extending to Cockfield, one having a 3 min lay-over, the other 15 min.
Nice suggestion greg. Service 6 doesn't run to timetable with buses generally running in pairs or even 3 together. elderly folk from Ramshaw who were used to a bus taking about an hour to durham now have a lengthy journey time taking in most of the wear valley.
