It has been temporarily disabled whilst the MyBB errors are investigated.

(11 Apr 2016, 5:05 pm)peter Press release regarding 15th May service changes in Darlington and Middlesbrough can be found here.

And certain people are going to love the new working patterns on the already complicated Bishop Auckland services:
  • 12s will interwork with 1/5/5a as followed: 5 from Bishop, 1 to Bishop, 5a from Bishop, 12, 1 to Bishop
  • 19s will work off 1s from Bishop but will work onto 5 or 5a to Bishop
PVR will increase for 11 to 13 - a 7/6 split.

Fron what I can the 12's will go:

Arrive in Darlington as service 5 like you say.
Darlington Town Centre - Hurworth.
Hurworth - Middleton St George.
Middleton St George - Hurworth.
Hurworth - Darlington Town Centre.
Depart as service 1 to Bishop Auckland.

Boy I am not looking forward to reporting odd workings I see on these services!

Wonder how this will affect allocations? Wonder if we'll be seeing EcoCity's on the daytime 5/5A's?

Those ecocitys should go on the 8


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - Kuyoyo - 12 Apr 2016

As there's only 2 EcoCitys allocated to the 12/12a (the third vehicle should be a Solo), I doubt they'll be ending up on the 8/8a which needs 3.

As for whether the 1/5/5a/12 cycle will be allocated EcoCitys - I would say not really. As Darlington will have 16 standard spec Pulsars to cover the 1/5/5a/12 (7), 1/5/5a/19 (6) and 8/8a (3) I would hazard at the 2 EcoCitys being spare. (Note - 1414 is reportedly transferring out of Darlington as a result of these changes due to the PVR decrease).

Again please can you mark any speculation as such. Has there been anything concrete said about this?

So wait there am I right in thinking that all 13 pulsars on the 1/5/5a/19 diagram will eventually go on to a 12 at some point?

Doesn't sound like it. From the sounds of things, 7 boards do 1s to Bishop, 5/5a from Bishop and 12s, the remaining 6 do 5s to Bishop, 1s from Bishop and 19s.

He said 'should' so it was obviously speculation.

Not so much up and coming as already happened. I spotted this in Durham bus station, this morning.

Pretty poor to have nothing in place from day one. Surely there's minimum paperwork running a free unregistered service with a council minibus for a day or so until something more perminant can be arranged.

Seems they knew about it yesterday evening, too.

Nothing on the main website, though and nothing mentioned on twitter, since the facbook thing was linked to, yesterday evening, so nothing there for anyone checking the morning's travel news, today.

They are introducing their senior customer service bod on twitter and asking people for their questions. I'm dying to ask if she's the person who conveniently loses people's complaints.

Edit: looks serious

She's brave to go out asking for trouble! Maybe they should focus on clearing the backlog they appear to have in the complaints inbox before they invite people to moan!


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - BusLoverMum - 13 Apr 2016

Looks like the article's been updated - there was something in place from early today, aooarently, but no one thought to tell anyone.

"Arriva service 48 will terminate at Ushaw Moor, and will not serve New Brancepeth.

"A special free shuttle service will run between New Brancepeth and Langley Moor on the morning of Wednesday 13 April, starting at 6.11am and running every 20 minutes. It will serve all stops in New Brancepeth normally served by Arriva 48, then run non-stop to Langley Moor, serving the stops at Tesco and the Boyne Hotel. Connections can be made there for services to and from Durham. Further information will be available shortly about longer term arrangements.

Is that why 1761 is on loan

I drove across that bridge last night and noticed nothing to suggest its closure.

It proved to be an inconvenience when it last shut earlier in the year.

(13 Apr 2016, 6:47 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Is that why 1761 is on loan

No. And it's not why 1412 or 1413 are on loan either.

I'd like to clarify that neither the council nor Arriva knew that this road would be closed until 5pm on Tuesday evening when faults were found with the bridge.  There was no way anyone could've had plans in force as it wasn't planned roadworks.


RE: Arriva North East: Upcoming Service Changes - peter - 13 Apr 2016

(12 Apr 2016, 4:07 pm)Cock Robin Nothing on the 23, 24 and Redcar 63 yet?

Having inspected the 63 timetable the only change is that Redcar Mersey Road is now Redcar St Hilda's Church. Also service 66 is now on the press release for the Darlington changes.

That's still 14 hours before the morning peak to get something sorted. Any transport manger who doesn't bother to get something sorted because it's past 5pm isn't worth their salt.
