Also of note, keep your eyes on VOSA website as apparently the X1/X2 are to split from 16th Sept... unconfirmed as of yet, but reliable source!!! including around 50+ registrations for a massive Northumbria network review. Seems Arriva have been busy...

That's the thing to watch then. I assume the deckers won't have a fixed board operate ie both of Redcar's boards and the 2 Whitby boards that finish the day as Redcar boards.

As for this rumour X1/X2 split, I can't realisically see how that would work.

The X1 and X2 are planned to get brand new timetables from that date - so they could standalone (presumably 5 boards on the X1 and 4 on the X2). The rumour also suggests an hourly evening service all year round, rather than the current half hourly term time.
