Granted Christmas won't be helping in the slightest, but it's not just the 21 which suffers delays!
It seems most services with a frequency of 10 minutes or better seems to have bunching up, it also often happens on the likes of the 2/11 in Darlington, it only takes a large number of passengers wanting that one bus or hitting traffic such as lots of traffic lights on red.
The Christmas traffic won't be helping though, Arriva's Teesside services have been all over the place judging from comments on here and posts on Arriva's Facebook.
