(26 Nov 2015, 3:14 pm)GX03 SVC If a DAF DB250, StreetLite or a Volvo B7TL are VOR, a MPD will be placed on the 35/35a.
If another route is short of vehicles a StreetLite or another double decker will be removed from the 35 and placed on that route, being substituted by a MPD.
Or some tool thinks the 35s should be on minibus rotas.

On Wednesday morning the 7:27 X15 from Berwick, (probably an X20 ALX400) broke down before it left Berwick. Thankfully for the few of us waiting in Belford, Ashington sent up a replacement. Unfortunately it was 1580 and it arrived 40 minutes late. I'm not sure those Streetlites are best suited to cruising at top speed up and down the A1 given the stream of artics that overtook us on the Dual carriageway at Brownieside.
