According to Bustimes, usual caveats, there wasn't a 308 from 16:05 to 17:30 towards Blyth, the 16:25 being pulled off and onto the 47. Seems like they prioritised getting all the X7-X11 boards running at peak time.
The X10&11 all seem to have ran in fairness, so does the X9? All three seem to have had minimal delays. X7/X8 seem to have lost a run or two but delays don't seem too bad (max of around 15 mins) from the quick look I had?
The 16:05 308 actually ran 40 minutes late at 16:45. Think that and 7612 (which should have been the 16:25) were in Haymarket at the same time, so I imagine it made sense to use one of those to replace what appears to be a failed Pulsar on the 47 at the same time?
Either way, it seems like it was something to do with the Coast Road which caused them the most problems given they were the only services with huge delays, and that some 307/309s were also impacted.
