Well the first Sunday 58 went well.
RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Storx - 31 Oct 2022
Good to see the X7/X8/X9 'reliability improvements' have gone well on their first day. The 17:10 X7 was (technically is) only 37 minutes late, not too bad...

There's an out of date PDF timetable on Connect Tees Valley's website for the X22, just cross referenced that PDF with the new times and the only difference is the timings have been slightly altered between Acre Rigg Schools and Wingate (as noted on Arriva's website), all the departure times are unchanged.
Whilst on the subject of the X21/X22, Darlington depot is operating the evening tendered journeys using the E200MMCs.

Well in Hartlepool people don’t have a clue as had to tell a few people at the Asda stop to cross over get the 23 24 from the Museum. With how slow Hartlepool borough council / connect Tees Vally can be at times they might just have the Timetable there by new year.

Maybe connectteesvalley need a email or call to let them know, DCC already changed the bus stop timetables about 5 days prior to the bus changes in County Durham.

In County Durham there seems to be a mix of updated and not updated timetables since the changes last weekend, think a lot of the ones that are yet to be done are ones along routes that had to go out to tender again following Scarlet Band's closure.

I’ve seen them come out to put new timetable sheets in at the bus stops for the 22/23/24 in east Durham the week before, yea it was up to the last minute scramble for the scarlet band contracts , probably more important trying to find bus operators to secure what scarlet band originally won and held.

5th November the 308 will extend to Bebside for the fireworks. Does this service get extra buses put on for the evening to run to Bebside

Yes it does, it’s runs every 10 minutes alongside the normal 308s. I’m sure last year one of the 308s extended to Ashington or one of the buses got put on the 1 and the driver didn’t change his ticket machine ??♂️

RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 05 Nov 2022
Does anyone know if the extra 308s between South Beach and Bebside in Blyth are running tonight? Don't want to park my car in Bebside and get the 1 & 308 to the event if I'll be relying on an hourly timetable getting back...

So did everybody else it seems... although they were running, the first extra 308 back to Bebside was just about full but the following journeys were empty.
No communication from Blyth Town Council or Arriva, so cue worse than usual parking chaos at the fireworks - totally avoidable had they said there were buses!
I parked in the town centre and walked there and back... couldn't be arsed to see if a bus would have turned up.

Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - cbma06 - 29 Nov 2022
From Arriva website:
In recent months, our services across the North East have unfortunately been impacted by the well documented national bus driver shortage.
This has escalated within the last few weeks particularly, resulting in serious challenges on the delivery of our timetabled services on a daily basis in some parts of the region.
We want to assure you, our customers, we’re exploring every avenue possible to rectify this situation.
We’re mindful of how negatively we are affecting some of our customers and our communities every day, and for this are we genuinely sorry.
As a priority action, work is underway to review our current timetables and service frequencies within parts of Tyne & Wear, with a view of potentially introducing small yet efficient changes in early 2023 which we believe will help to support positive service delivery in hot spots across the North East. These plans are currently being shared and discussed with local authority leads where appropriate, whom we are working in partnership with, to further show our commitment to righting the current challenges being experienced across our bus network.
Arriva has a highly targeted recruitment campaign underway, which has already welcomed over 280 new drivers into the North East region this year. To further boost our ‘on the road’ capacity as quickly as possible, we’re utilising agency driver resource in the coming weeks, helping to bridge the gap whilst some of our newly recruited Arriva drivers undergo their training programme.
We’ll continue to keep our customers and stakeholders updated on our plans and timelines of service delivery supporting changes being implemented.
