Nice to see OK1 retimed so it doesnt clash with arriva best one X1.
Soon I know the pronto will only work X21 to newcastle,Is their a possibility of a new liveried angel bus reaching Bishop Auckland!

The PVR will be 4 if I have checked the new timetable correctly. Not sure if the connecting morning/evening journeys between Crook and Bishop Auckland will be operated by a different vehicle, or an 'OK Expressway' vehicle though.

I'm sure I've heard that 'Angel' Hybrids will run on 'Pronto' on Sundays, but I'm not definitely sure - (anyone know)?

Evenings & Sundays from 11th November one Green Angel 21 per hour will run through between Newcastle and Bishop Auckland and should be a Volvo hybrid. The Scanias remain on OK1, PVR 4, working Bishop - Middlesbrough - Bishop - Darlington - Bishop. Each bus starts at Crook in the morning and runs in service to Bishop then onto Darlington/Middlesbrough and returns in service to Crook in the evening. Any X21 Prontos starting/finishing in Durham run in service between Crook and Durham as X46. The Prontos starting/finishing in Bishop and the OK Way MPDs for the 18 run light from Crook. The 7 Pronto Volvos, 5 OK Expressway Scanias & 2 OK Way MPD's remain based at Weardale Motor Services depot in Crook.
