Crook - Bishop Auckland - Darlington - Middlesborough

Wonder if this will lead to something new being introduced or otherwise and what will happen to the 5229 - 5233 scania solars.

Surprise? How? It is not carrying many at all to Middlesbrough and Arriva 1/X1 is giving it a rough time between Bishop Auckland & Darlington.

I for one, not surprised.

Go north east's problem with the Darlington - Middlesbrough route is that it doesn't call at all the stops the X66 does in Darlington, nor does it stop in Stockton. Unlike the Tyne/Wear Tees express it isn't a route that calls at towns and cities, yes Darlo is a town but the X66 has more customers because of the point i said previously, and I think thats the problem with the route.
