It isn't beyond the wit of man to do a couple of bus swaps on Friday at Eldon Square or Haymarket with services from Ashington or Blyth in order to allocate deckers on the 685 for Saturday. Ridiculous, and pretty basic stuff to get right.
Could blame Northern instead rather than the bus company instead... Good on them for sticking it into Northern who they lost because of poor performance - rather ironic. It'd be the last company I'd be helping out if I was them.
GoNorthEast has minibuses on the 684 aswell for the record.
