Chaos on the X21/22 today, the ones I saw were mostly all over 10 minutes late

Sorry if its already been mentioned, 7610 is on the X12/X2. It's been MAX'd.

It has I'm afraid.

7619 is the only X12 example left to return to service.

Bus 2 14:57 Kirkhill Abbey Meadows shops to Blyth Bus station + 5

Roadworks somewhere?

I think everything is taking a battering today both loadings and traffic wise... Some of the 5s in Middlesbrough have been 15-30 late thanks toCargo Fleet Lane being backed up...
So glad I am off lol! Been for a run out mind, more on that in the outings & reviews thread later

It was the first MAX Gemini to be refurbished and reenter service at Durham which was quite a while ago now. As Jimmi said, only 7619 needs to enter service now although the vehicle has an engine problem(??)

[Cock Robin]

Following on from discussions on late running Durham X2/12s, the other night I got a Durham one.Left M'bro on time, got to the Teesdale Campus on time, driver got out. Got back on and set off 5 mins after he was due. Couldn't see where he went, presumably for a fag. Got to Stockton High Street south end 4 minutes after he should have left.

I'm sure I read seized up engine or something like that on here which is why it hasn't been seen (or noted) as being back from MAX referb or back in service.

One 57 reg Lowlander has been on the X12/X2 each day I've seen it.

I'd probably say the same too, also there is roadworks in places, I don't know if there still is but on Monday there was roadworks outside the Odeon Cinema in Darlington. I imagine they are still there after seeing this.

Unusual for Blyth to have stuff leaving for there 22 late like! 

I'll write up my (small) review later on and that'll have more details in on what I found most odd.

Aye, I seen that.

It was a plain yellow Alpha truck heading to Weetslade.

That is odd. Might have been an accident up my end or Cowpen Road is gridlocked due to an accident.

I'm having a look at Blyth now, and the road from bus station to depot is congested so might have been an accident outside if the depot.

There'll be a problem in Bedlington, the 19 is running late. Two went past about an hour ago within 20 minutes of each other.
