Service Update. Services 1 and X1 between Darlington, Bishop Auckland and Crook/Tow Law are subject to severe delays due to a 5 vehicle accident at Redworth. We are trying to divert round the accident but the diversion route is backed up with heavy traffic

Just looked at the live map and seen a 1 running 42 minutes late.

Also no mention that this will have a knock on effect to the 5/5A! One is currently running 30 odd minutes late.

Also the X1 could have more struggles as Tow Law has had a fair bit of snow.

Yes, still delays, currently there is 2 X1s heading into Darlington together and there has been a few Pulsars out of service in order to get the 1/5 back to time.

It's all been a bit of a nightmare, service 7s were also running around 30/45 mins late due to the snow and road conditions, plenty of them seen heading up north road out of service in order to get them back on time

Seem to be fine now thankfully.

The same allegedly happens in Durham too.

It would be a lot easier for everyone if the buses were just left on the layover.

I can honestly say that the problem with buses being dumped on stands is laziness and in some cases, early operation.

Just waited over 30 minutes for the 11 opposite Kwik Fit near Lingfield Point in Darlington.

I think I have pneumonia.

Also the 1 drove straight past us!

I am not ****ing impressed.

4007 is now withdrawn at Stockton - taken off 21A earlier and put through the wash then parked up nose in next to 4001 in "scrap corner", along with 1003 and 1756

4653 is going on the N30 tonight.

Anybody know if the Ashington Streetlites are allocated to the 35 or 35A on Saturdays, or is it a mixture? 

7506 was sitting in Ashington Bus Station spare about an hour ago, I don't know if it's moved, according to someone at the bus station it had been there since this morning. (They told another person waiting, as a Commander came in on a 1, while 7475 was parked next to it, unable to get past so parked at the X21 stand.)
