Used the 41A for the 1st time today,and it was actually quite full,makes me wonder why it was hashed up in the 1st place

Anyone know how busy these have been, could we see the X1 Extended to Seaham, to provide more connections from Seaham to terminate, providing connections to Newcastle like there used to be.

I wonder how they are gonna brand the CountryRanger with the place names.
will it be like the C&C and 8/78 Branded Lime (Not separated one) where they just mix the 8/78 places up
or will it be like the Green Arrow with the 96 on one side and the 97 on the other

Their first passenger carrying service should have just left Kings Cross, ahead of stops at Stevenage, Newcastle, Morpeth and Edinburgh.

Anyone have any idea of the passenger load for the 21 from Durham to Brandon.

I know they are called the Peterlee Purples, but why not the Little Lilacs, or Little Violets to connect with the 55.

Why are the Sunday evening 310 journeys ex Newcastle scheduled to run via Hadrian Park, yet the Monday to Saturday evening journeys ex Newcastle aren't?

Is this due to funding arrangements with Nexus or a mistake when creating the timetable?
