On the way to Bishop Auckland today one pronto broke down at County Hall then at Bishop Auckland bus station the 1434 and 1504 X21 departures never turned up. One bus did turn up at half 3 but that went straight back to Crook depot afterwards and finally 6022 turned up for service 5 or 10 minutes later.
I have found the X21 to be one of GNE's better service as far as running on time goes. I do share your concerns regarding breakdowns which are becoming an issue I noticed a blue pronto broken down in the lay over area at Eldon Square last Friday morning.
