Fortunately 1479 has been scrambled from somewhere to operate the 7 so realistically I have only left Durham 15 minutes late, although goodness knows which working this is on.

Roadworks in Darlington seems to be a major contributing factor to these delays as I also noticed the 5/5A and 8 running significantly late. The 7 has additionally had to contend with an incident by the Cock o' the North, guessing the road had been closed earlier as GNE posted that the X21 was running via the evening and Sunday route, the road is open now but there was a car being towed away when I went past on 1479.
