Seems strange the engines were playing up, the volvo engines are normally pretty decent.
A Lambton Worm Prestige has been working the 71 today, with Northern branded vehicles working the 8.
I also saw what looked like an East Durham Spd on the Dox Park to Roker bus tonight. Not sure if that was the one that was spotted yesterday on Durham Road.
Having spent most of my day on the X7s today, I can tell you!
They averaged on 8 passengers this morning, from Sunderland to Peterlee. A few passengers departed at Peterlee, but some were picked up also; therefore, still averaged on 8. From Stockton to Middlesbrough, about 6.
In the other direction, passenger numbers were significantly less - perhaps peaking at 5.
It must be noted that on the X10 I got on today from Stockton to Middlesbrough, there were only 4 passengers (including myself)... Only two got off at Stockton. The X7 is doing better than that...
