May have picked this up totally wrong, but do you mean Lowlanders back to Ashington *hopes*

If someone at Arriva has signed off painting and branding an extra vehicle for the X12, then surely that should be used in the first instance? It's a ridiculous situation having an 'X12' branded vehicle going round Durham on everything but the X12, and it confuses customers.Could it be more to do with capacity, a Lowlander will be better at peak times than a Pulsar would be?
Isn't capacity an issue with the X12?
