It's a vehicle either broken down or so severely delayed that it can't make it to the right place at the right time. If it's the message about the 50, one passed me, on the way into Durham, at 16:05, either 5 minutes early or 25 minutes late. i saw the tweet about the 15:57 not running, so I'm guessing 25 minutes late.

This time yesterday, GNE were terminating services at County hall and running shuttles to the bus station so they could turn around again without being too badly delayed.

It was the post about the 50 that made me think of it although I've seen them post that phrase before. What confused me was the fact that I'd it was a breakdown, they usually say "due to a breakdown" or if it's a delay they say something like "due to delays on the inbound journey", which is why I thought operational issues would be neither of those things?
