Being replaced by 1444 as I post this.

1916 is getting a good run-out to test its ‘new’ gearbox - it’s on 15s tonight.
Temsa 4713 failing to sparkle on X3/X3A this afternoon and ex-Sainsbury's MPD adding a splash of colour to the 63 too.

This has operated an X8 into Newcastle this morning, arriving Haymarket at 9:30. It was then swapped for 1504 for the return journey to Blyth.

Quite possibly a defect with the first vehicle so replaced and sent to Jesmond for some attention

Darlington has had a nightmare with breakdowns today with 6 in total at one point

These services are the ones that something broke down on

X21, 19, 1, X1, 7 and something else

1508 had a new tyre sometime yesterday so probably been kept local today

7536 was appalling yesterday on the 7 according to 1 driver hitting a top speed of 36mph on a 60mph road
