Wish they could find a double decker to send to Darlington for the morning Bishop Auckland College 5A run, allowing 7538 to go back onto the 7 as it leaves Darlington with no Sapphire spares and as such we've ended up with at least one Sapphire bus missing from the 7 each day, often two! Perhaps one of Redcar's B7s when the X93 reverts to off peak timetable, sadly won't happen though, wouldn't be surprised if one ends up at Blyth to withdraw 7439.
