That'll be why I saw 7527 running SNIS through Bedlington Station earlier then?

The road was closed between Seaton Burn roundabout and Northumberlandia due to an accident which I think involved 2 motorcycles, traffic was diverted via a side road to the old A1 at Blagdon

The Police requested that everyone on that bus was to be taken to Ashington and to catch another bus from there if need be.

To work the 1605 29 I'm guessing - shame that's a one-way trip

I forgot to get them I was on 2836 on the 3A with a new driver, and couldn't really leave him and just as we passed 1404 on the 3 on our last trip so I waited in town for it but it never arrived so presumably finished at skerne park

Right allocation? It's branded for the X14.

It certainly is X14 branded, so I don't see how this is odd? (this photo was taken a few weeks back).
Arriva North East: 4659 / NK05GXO by Jimmi's Transport Photos, on Flickr

4659 is branded for X14. 4653 is branded Quick Links into Newcastle, but is the set allocation for a X14 board.

4659 was removed from the X14 at about 1000 this morning due to a water leak, and substituted with a DAF ALX400.

4659 then replaced Sapphire 7524 on the X22, which had a major problem of it only being able to reach 10mph max. That was at about 11am.

1924 on 7, while 2829 was on the 6
1470 on the extra X12 and 1473 on the normal working behind that

2862 appears to have overheated in Stockton on the X66

Seems like a pretty serious problem! 

Any idea what caused it, or how long it had been like that?

Sounds like a version of limp mode, caused by running out of adblue!

1418 was also on 21A, 1512 replaced 4654 at 1145 so that may well have gone to Darlington also. 4658 definitely still at Stockton tonight.

NK56 HKW and NK05 GVY are on the 35/35A today
