If it is for the 836 - it is a scholars service for Tanfield School. It is a service that operates now.

The 1221 and 1421 from Bedlington terminate at Ashington, then there's a 1300 and 1427 departure to Linton.

New service 16/16A replaces. 43/44 to Durham, 16 also replaces current V8 to Consett/Castleside running through from Durham
New services V7/V8 replace X43 to Metrocentre and replace 706/707 locally in Stanley
X30 rerouted to Whickam and Dunston
X30/X31 will now run every 15mins
New service X32 Stanley to Newcastle via Ouston, Kibblesworth and Team Valley to Newcastle, morning and afternoon peak times only
V1 on Sunday withdrawn, replaced by new Sunday service15A every hour to Durham via Delves
45/46 are being reorganised to drop an extra bus in so longer layovers can be taken at Consett to help when they run late.

Most of them we already know about, bus the X30 is interesting...

(24 Sep 2015, 4:33 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Probably not as long as it seems, depending on the route it takes.

If it goes direct via the A693 to Pelton Roundabout, it will take approximately the same amount of time as it takes to Sunniside. Traffic is usually queued on the A6076 due to the traffic lights at Sunniside, so this may avoid some of the congestion there.

Going through Ouston is pretty direct until the roundabout at the bottom of the hill is reached. It'll be interesting to see which route it takes from there. Usually, buses turn right towards Birtley, however, if the bus continues ahead it'll end up intersecting the road between Birtley and Kibby. There are a couple of tight corners on the road and it does narrow in parts but I imagine a smaller bus would be able to manage without any major problems. There won't be much traffic going up the bank to Kibby, or back down to Lamesley Roundabout, but it may encounter a tailback between Lamesley and the Coal House Roundabout. Going through Team Valley should be relatively congestion free as traffic is flowing in the opposite direction.

At peak times, journey time will probably be slightly longer but, bearing in mind what I said about Sunniside as well as the build-up of traffic around Lobley Hill (which often causes tailbacks to Watergate Bank), it won't be by much.

(24 Sep 2015, 4:45 pm)Andreos1 wrote The Versa's on the 34/34a use the road past Bewick Main when running NIS between the valley and Urpeth.
You are right about it being tight in places like.

One point that hasn't been mentioned, if this peak time bus is calling in Kibby. Is this at the expense of an existing service or as well as?

(24 Sep 2015, 5:07 pm)Andreos1 wrote Exactly.

If it is staying, then there is potential overkill through Ouston.
If it is going, then early morning links, are removed.

My gut instinct, is that the X32 will operate something similar to the old 709 or 728 route from Stanley to Ouston, but follow the 28a route between Ouston and Kibby.
Granted it would be slower than the route MurdunoC suggested, but it would mean the peak 28a's can go - but links aren't lost.

I don't like some of the changes if i have to be honest. I think that they'll be inconvenient for some customers too.
