Could possibly be swapping buses between Ashington & Alnwick? Redcar do this quite a lot with Whitby to balance the fleet depending on requirements. This is on top of swapping buses on service runs.

This is the quickest way from Ashington to Alnwick:

So unless they were attempting to save less than a mile of fuel, I don't see why they would be on that stretch?
