2852/4/5 all appeared on 57/A today, and 2853 (tracking as 2845) has been putting in full shifts on the 553 since it arrived at Jesmond a few weeks ago.
I don't think it has, think it's just off road and was just dodgy tracking. They've been pretty poor at Ashington every since they've turned up. 2853 seems the best of the bad bunch but then it's not really a surprise putting 13 year old buses who have spent their lives pottering around estates suddenly on probably the hardest minibus route under Arriva with a mix of fast and slow and over an hour from end to end. You'd usually do the opposite.
