EDIT: looks like the Framwellgate Moor - Durham Bus Station stretch of this journey to Darlington got dropped as it is only a few minutes late now.

Yeah it was 2833 and yeah the 1653 service from framwellgate moor to Durham got dropped as I was with my friend on the one behind it and we were following it from ferry hill to Durham then we went to framwellgate moor and he just stayed in the bus station, he was delayed because his ticket machine was playing up

Didn't look too busy - even took some of the passengers waiting for the following journey (7486 should have been the 1020 from Guisborough, 1568 finally left at 1048 as 7401 was coming up on the 1050).

Suppose that isn't too bad :Smile

What has reliability been like since the introduction of the B9's? And are the problems with the B7's frequent?

B9s have been absolutely spot on! 7401 was replaced on X93 by 4720 for it's last trip to Whitby. I expect it'll get swapped back in the morning

1516 on X26
1310 was on 1/5/19 before a power steering problem led to it being replaced by a Solo.

There is currently an X26/7 branded MAX Omnicity on 1B heading towards Bishop Auckland

1570 is on the 22 and 1440 is on the 63.

No, 28 minutes late not too bad. For Redcar.
