RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Stuartphin1639 - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 10:36 am)Kuyoyo Arriva's Facebook page's cover photo has been updated teasing improvements to the X66 and new links on the Darlington-Stockton-Middlesbrough corridor. So is anything actually happening to the X66 or not? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 03 Aug 2015 I'm sure we'll soon find out what that's all about RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 11:08 am)tyresmoke I'm sure we'll soon find out what that's all aboutHmm! I am still hoping for a later service to Middlesbrough but I can't see it happening. Just hope that the X66 route isn't made any longer than it currently is. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 11:22 am)Jimmi Hmm! Might happen - I understand from speaking to a few of the Stockton lads I know that they are supposedly (re)gaining some X66 workings in the autumn so you can expect some timetable rewrites. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - marklewins - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 8:23 am)mb134 Are the new timetables for the Northumberland changes out today, seem to recall something saying they were, just can't find it anywhere...According to the people on Arriva North East's twitter page it will be dealt with by the end of the week. I am shocked as the timetables have to go in with the service registration. Timetables must be finalised 4 weeks prior to service commencement if it is a service alteration...hence this week for the new timetables. Obviously being done in Sunderland by someone who has never been to Cramlington, Blyth, Morpeth or Ashington. Keep checking Arriva's buggy website over the week. Sadly they have no section about upcoming changes which would be a bonus. Mark RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - mb134 - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 3:38 pm)marklewins According to the people on Arriva North East's twitter page it will be dealt with by the end of the week. I did think that they'd have to have some sort of timetable ready when they submitted the variations. Also, timetables are meant to be on buses by Thursday, meaning they must have already been printed/sent to the printers, and just can't be bothered to upload them to the website... RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 03 Aug 2015 It seems as Michael is away I guess I'm going to have to post the VOSA registrations this week PHP PB0002032/194 - ARRIVA NORTHUMBRIA LTD, 1 ADMIRAL WAY, DOXFORD INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK, SUNDERLAND, SR3 3XP RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - omnicity4659 - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 6:18 pm)Jimmi It seems as Michael is away I guess I'm going to have to post the VOSA registrations this week I wonder what the X22 will be. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - tyresmoke - 03 Aug 2015 Some information on our East Durham College services now on the website. Majority of students can be catered for on our existing network, plus odd few extras like the X22 journey via Seaham. Dedicated services as below ED1 - Blaydon (0710), Rowlands Gill (0720), Consett (0735), Annfield Plain (0750), Stanley (0800), Sacriston (0815), Nevilles Cross (0830) to Durham Houghall Campus (0840) Return journey departs 1700 ED2 - Houghton-le-Spring (0742), Hetton-le-Hole (0750), South Hetton (0802), Easington Lane (0809), Murton (0815) to Peterlee Campus (0825) Return journey departs 1715 There is also a lunchtime journey in both directions on ED2 departs Houghton at 1212, arriving at Peterlee at 1255, departing on the return at 1315 ED3 - Peterlee Campus - Houghall Campus shuttle departs 0827, arriving 0856 via Cassop, Coxhoe and Bowburn Return journey departs 1640 Web link - https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/north-east/floating/east-durham-college/ RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - S813 FVK - 03 Aug 2015 So there is actually going to be Arriva buses in service going through Stanley? That will take some getting used to... RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Adrian - 03 Aug 2015 The only issue I can see with those restrictive services, is actually how many people are in college until 5pm? I don't know if things have changed, but when I was at college, people were on their 2nd or 3rd pint by then...

I don't know if things have changed, but when I was at college, people were on their 2nd or 3rd pint by then... Know most of my mates leave college at 3pm (4pm at the latest!) Not East Durham College, like, so it may be different there... RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - 9920up - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 12:49 pm)Kuyoyo Might happen - I understand from speaking to a few of the Stockton lads I know that they are supposedly (re)gaining some X66 workings in the autumn so you can expect some timetable rewrites. Now let's see....... The X66 uses MAX Omnicities every 20 minutes into Darlington from Middlesbrough. The X26/7 uses MAX Omnicities every 20 minutes into Darlington from Richmond/Catterick. There are no links at present from North and NE Darlington to the Railway station. Through services have recently come back into vogue and been re-introduced across town on the combined 2 and ex 11, 3/3A/3B. Middlesbrough Darlington Richmond Catterick anyone? RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - MurdnunoC - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 6:37 pm)tyresmoke ED1 - Blaydon (0710), Rowlands Gill (0720), Consett (0735), Annfield Plain (0750), Stanley (0800), Sacriston (0815), Nevilles Cross (0830) to Durham Houghall Campus (0840) At last, a bus from Rowlands Gill to Stanley once again. Shame it has to a tour of Derwentside first but beggars can't be choosers! RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Mark P - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 11:08 am)Stuartphin1639 So is anything actually happening to the X66 or not?Pure speculation on my part but how about: X66 via A66 X67 via A67 RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 8:29 pm)aureolin The only issue I can see with those restrictive services, is actually how many people are in college until 5pm? I don't know if things have changed, but when I was at college, people were on their 2nd or 3rd pint by then... Not sure about East Durham College but most courses at New College were finished for the day sometime between 3/4pm, although on my course we were some of the only ones who were timetabled to stay after that, our timetable says that we should have finished at 5pm everyday, that sounded awful but we preferred to stay the extra two hours a day than come in for half a day, especially me as I would have another day making an incredibly long journey. Waiting for the bus at Framwellgate Moor on a night, most nights you wouldn't see many students waiting for the bus after about 1620 and the few who did were waiting specifically for the 1638 service 7 (including me). RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 8:32 pm)9920up Now let's see....... I can't honestly see that happening. For a start, it would have to be split at Darlington anyway. (03 Aug 2015, 8:35 pm)Mark P Pure speculation on my part but how about: Not sure how an express along the A67 would work. RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Jimmi - 03 Aug 2015 (03 Aug 2015, 8:35 pm)Mark P Pure speculation on my part but how about: Apparently the X67 will go via Longnewton so here is my wacky suggestion. X66: current route. X67: via, Freeman's Place, Haughton Road, Haughton Green, Stockton Road, Great Burdon (A1150), A66, LONGNEWTON Darlington Road, ELTON, then A66 to Stockton and Middlesbrough the same route as the X66. Pure random speculation this. Both would be half hourly (combined 15 minutes).

Shame it has to a tour of Derwentside first but beggars can't be choosers! Hehe. Wasn't the last services the 714/715? Used to use the Metroriders and then the KGP darts. Loved riding on the routes.

Used to use the Metroriders and then the KGP darts. Loved riding on the routes. Yup. Then for a short while after the 700 was extended from Flint Hill to replace the 714/715 between Pickering Nook and Rowlands Gill. |
