(23 Dec 2021, 3:44 pm)L469 YVK Any unexpected extreme traffic is outside of GNE's control. They can't account for everything although where they know there's certain pinchpoints, they can routinely time for that.
If a major RTC happened on the A1 or A19, the X21/X10 would get caught out even with layover in Newcastle.
We ended up getting into Gateshead/Newcastle about 25 mins late yesterday due to traffic at Bishop Auckland retail park and the A1. By the time the X21 got to Tindale it was already 12 mins late, it spent most of that time getting between Tesco and the retail park roundabout!
