Thankfully for the few of us waiting in Belford, Ashington sent up a replacement. Unfortunately it was 1580 and it arrived 40 minutes late. I'm not sure those Streetlites are best suited to cruising at top speed up and down the A1 given the stream of artics that overtook us on the Dual carriageway at Brownieside.
1580 was the only suitable vehicle that could get up there to due to the lack of vehicles that could get up there quickly. 1580 was removed at Ashington on the X20 as the journey it should have operated was taken over by a lead driver.
