I wonder what caused the breakdown?

So before anyone gets confused, here is what was planned previously:
10x ADL Enviro 200s from South Shields to go to Slatyford, with 10x MANs going in the other direction to Shields.
Then...
10x ADL Enviro 200s from Sunderland to Hartlepool, with 10x MANs to Sunderland.

None of these transfers have taken place yet. Although if anybody has any information regarding this, it would be much appreciated.

(08 Oct 2018, 5:11 pm)Andreos1 wrote Sure I reported on a forlorn looking X24A a month or two back.
Can't remember the vehicle type unfortunately. 

There were also reports from a few of us on the forum (including myself) of one failing on the Felling Bypass. 
It was this year, but can't remember when.
